2010 Ducati 1198 1.2L Petrol · SF10 ANP

The most recent MOT, recorded on 13 February 2025 at 26 015 miles, returned a pass with only an advisory that the near‑side mirror is loose but unlikely to detach. As of 7 August 2026 the vehicle carries no current MOT, so its roadworthiness is unverified. The history shows a clear improvement after a cluster of failures in 2020‑2021; since the October 2022 test the bike has passed with only minor advisories, indicating that major defects were addressed but some wear items remain. Mileage accumulation over the 16‑year lifespan totals 26 015 miles, averaging roughly 1 600 miles per year – a low figure for a 2010 model. The record reveals a period of higher usage between late 2020 (19 327 miles) and late 2021 (24 379 miles), where about 5 000 miles were logged in roughly 11 months. After the November 2023 test (25 979 miles) only 36 miles were added before the February 2025 test, highlighting extended periods of storage and very light overall use. Tyre wear recurs throughout the log: front and rear tyres were noted close to the legal limit in 2021, 2023 and the latest test. The rear drive chain sprocket was marked as excessively worn in October 2021 (6.1.7 (c)(i)) and has not reappeared in later reports, suggesting a repair was carried out. Brake issues are repeated – slight effort fluctuation in 2021, pads under 1 mm in 2020, and a roller‑brake test showing less than 25 % efficiency that same year. Structural deformation of the front frame was recorded in 2020 but judged not to affect rigidity, while the exhaust was noisy in 2015 and the near‑side mirror remains loose. A prospective buyer should inspect tyre tread depth and wear patterns on both wheels, examine the rear chain sprocket for excessive wear, test brake actuation for fluctuation and verify pad thickness, and check the mirror mounting for security. Verify the chain guard sits correctly, confirm the stop lamp operates with both brake controls, assess wheel alignment, and listen for exhaust noise. A visual check of the front frame for deformation and any rust or missing bodywork fixings is also advisable.
