2011 Ducati Diavel Carbon 1.2L Petrol · SF11 AFA

The vehicle presents a stable but somewhat neglected maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT on 24 May 2024 showing a pass following a failure. The record indicates a pattern of minor, recurring non-compliance issues rather than major mechanical failures. While the vehicle passed its last test at 6,729 miles, the presence of unevenly worn front tyres suggests a potential issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry that has not been addressed. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2011 model, averaging approximately 449 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the 1,474-mile gap between 2016 and 2017, and a 1,772-mile increase between 2014 and 2015. This level of low usage often implies the vehicle has spent long durations stationary, which can lead to component degradation that is not always captured by MOT inspections. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyres. The tester flagged a pitted and scored rear brake disc in May 2022 at 6,598 miles, and the May 2024 test highlighted uneven tyre wear. These findings suggest that while the vehicle is not suffering from major structural decay, consumable parts are being used or aging without proactive replacement. The recurring failure for an incorrect rear registration plate across multiple years also points to a lack of attention to basic compliance details. The noisy exhaust noted in the June 2015 test at 3,013 miles warrants a secondary check to ensure no leaks or mounting issues have developed during its periods of storage. Given the low mileage and the tendency for components to seize or degrade when sitting idle, checking the seals, fuel system, and battery health is essential. Focus specifically on the front end to determine why the tyre wear is uneven, as this could indicate worn steering head bearings or misaligned forks.
