2015 Ducati Scrambler 0.8L Petrol · SJ15 BXR

The Ducati Scrambler maintains a clean MOT record, with the most recent test on 8 May 2025 at 3,730 miles resulting in a clear pass. This indicates a stable mechanical status, as the motorcycle has consistently cleared its annual inspections without any recorded defects or advisories. The absence of flagged issues across the 2018, 2019, and 2025 tests suggests that the machine has not suffered from recurring component failures or structural degradation during its limited operational life. The vehicle displays an exceptionally low mileage profile for an eleven-year-old machine, averaging roughly 339 miles per year. A significant period of inactivity is evident between the April 2019 test at 3,372 miles and the May 2025 test, where the odometer advanced by only 358 miles over six years. While this low usage minimizes wear on drivetrain components and tyres, extended periods of standing often lead to fuel system degradation, internal engine corrosion, and the hardening of rubber seals or hoses. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough physical inspection of rubber components, including fork seals, coolant hoses, and fuel lines, as these items perish regardless of mileage. The brake fluid requires verification for moisture contamination, and the fuel tank interior should be checked for signs of oxidation caused by long-term storage with stagnant petrol. Since the bike has seen minimal road use, the condition of the drive chain and sprocket teeth should be assessed for surface corrosion rather than mechanical stretch. Confirming that the engine starts cleanly from cold will also ensure that the fuel injection system and battery health have not been compromised by the prolonged gaps in the MOT history.
