2015 Ducati F848 0.8L Petrol · SJ15 BYV

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a pattern of minor electrical neglect. The most recent test in July 2022 at 12,276 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for a non-functional horn. This suggests that the previous owner was attentive enough to rectify basic electrical issues when prompted by the MOT tester, as no deeper mechanical or structural defects have appeared in the recorded history. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,116 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the June 2020 test at 11,612 miles and the July 2022 test at 12,276 miles, representing only 664 miles covered over two years. This pattern suggests long periods of stationary. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of material degradation in rubber-based components and fluid breakdown due to inactivity. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of components affected by low-mileage, long-term storage. Check the tyre sidewalls for cracking or flat spotting, and inspect the brake discs for corrosion despite the low mileage count. Because the MOT history shows minor electrical failures like the registration lamp and horn, verify that all lighting and the wiring loom are fully operational. Given the long intervals between use, inspect the fork seals for weeping and ensure that the brake calipers have not seized or developed binding from sitting idle.
