2007 Ducati 1098 1.1L Petrol · TG07 CDV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection data. The final MOT conducted on 20 August 2022 at 2,766 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded following an initial failure for headlamp aim being too high. This indicates that the primary issue identified was rectified immediately, and the remaining mechanical and safety components met the required DVSA standards at the time of the test. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nineteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 146 miles per year. With only 2,766 miles recorded as of the 2022 test, the vehicle has clearly spent significant periods stationary. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and brakes, it introduces specific risks related to age and stagnation. The gap of nearly four years since the last recorded MOT means the vehicle is currently out of test and requires a fresh certification. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to address the risks associated with long-term storage. Low mileage often masks the degradation of rubber components, such as perished fuel lines, cracked brake hoses, and dried out fork seals. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, and check the tyres for flat spots and sidewalling despite deep tread depth. Given the age of the Ducati, the structural integrity of the frame and swing require close scrutiny to ensure they have not suffered from hidden corrosion during periods of inactivity.
