2015 Ducati 1299 1.3L Petrol · T8 KEV

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 8 May 2025 at 5,935 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, mirroring the results seen over the previous four years. This lack of recorded failures suggests that the mechanical components have remained in a condition that meets the minimum safety and emissions standards required for road use. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 540 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the September 2020 test at 5,283 miles and the April 2022 test at 5,350 miles, during which the vehicle covered only 67 miles. Since 2022, the bike has added only 585 miles. This low usage indicates minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain, tyres, and brake components, but it also implies the vehicle has spent significant periods sitting stationary, which presents specific preservation risks. A buyer must focus on the risks associated with low-mileage storage rather than mechanical fatigue. Long periods of standing often lead to rubber degradation, such as flat-spotted tyres or perished brake hoses, and internal fluid contamination within the fuel system. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, and check the fork seals for weeping caused by lack of movement. Because the MOT record shows no structural rust or suspension advisories, the priority should be verifying that the owner has performed regular fluid changes and maintained seals despite the low annual mileage.
