2015 Ducati 899 0.9L Petrol · SF65 YBN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift from clean passes to active component wear. The most recent test on June 2, 2026, at 21,454 miles identified two specific issues: a light misting offside front shock absorber and front brake pads approaching the minimum limit. This follows a clean result in March 2025 after a minor reflector failure, suggesting that the motorcycle is now entering a phase requiring preventative mechanical attention. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,950 miles per year. Between March 2023 and June 2026, the vehicle covered only 1,757 miles, indicating long periods of stationary or minimal use. While low mileage generally preserves mechanical internals like the engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components. The 2024 advisory for a rear tyre worn to the legal limit supports this that the rubber may have perished over time despite the low distance travelled. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the offside front fork seal to determine if the misting is merely surface weeping or a failing seal that will soon necessitate replacement. Given the low usage, the brake system should also be checked for glazing or uneven wear, which frequently occurs when bikes sit for long durations. The 2024 note regarding a loose drive chain suggests the buyer should verify the chain for stretch and rust, as low-mileage bikes often suffer from dry-linkring corrosion if regular cleaning and lubrication were neglected during storage periods.
