2024 Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour Petrol · SS61 FUN

The DVSA database contains no MOT record for the 2024 Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour, meaning no official test outcome can be quoted and there is no basis on which to judge a maintenance trend as stable, deteriorating or improving. In the absence of any documented inspections, the on‑usership will have relied entirely on private servicing and visual checks, and a prospective buyer should treat the lack of MOT data as a signal to verify the bike’s condition through a thorough independent inspection. Mileage for the machine has not been disclosed, so a direct comparison with its two‑year age is not possible. A 2024 model in the UK would typically accumulate between 3,000 and 6,000 miles per annum if used as a mixed‑purpose tourer, with higher figures for dedicated sport touring. If the bike has been ridden only sparingly, components such as the rubber bushings, O‑rings and tyre sidewalls may have suffered from calendar ageing rather than wear, whereas a high‑kilometre figure would suggest greater wear on the chain, sprockets, brake pads and suspension damping. The buyer should ask the seller for any service book entries, oil change stamps and mileage logs to establish whether the bike has been run‑in or largely stored. Given the absence of MOT data and an unknown mileage, the buyer should concentrate on time‑based inspections. Examine the tyre tread depth and, more importantly, the sidewall condition for cracking, dry rot or hardening, which are common on bikes that have sat for extended periods. Check the 12‑volt battery for sulphation, low voltage under load and ensure the terminals are clean; a battery older than three years should be load‑tested or replaced. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust, pitting or uneven wear, and verify that the calipers move freely without binding; any vibration or shudder under braking could indicate warped discs or contaminated pads. Verify that the coolant, brake fluid and engine oil have been changed at the manufacturer’s intervals – typically every 12 months for coolant and every 6,000‑8,000 miles for oil – and look for any signs of fluid leakage around the engine, fork seals and the rear shock absorber. Finally, confirm that the service history includes regular valve clearance checks, chain lubrication and tension adjustments, and that the Ducati’s electronic rider aids (traction control, cornering ABS, ride‑by‑wire throttle) have been calibrated recently. A visual inspection of the frame, sub‑frame and swingarm for any signs of corrosion, especially around mounting points, will help assess structural integrity. If the bike has been predominantly stored, a comprehensive mechanical check by a qualified Ducati specialist is advisable before committing to purchase, to uncover any latent issues that time rather than mileage may have produced.
