2015 Ducati Multistrada 1.2L Petrol · TW61 RAT

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a slight decline in preventative maintenance. While the motorcycle passed the January 2026 test at 9,442 miles, the tester flagged a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. This represents a departure from the previous four years of testing which showed zero defects. The trend suggests that while the mechanical components appear sound, consumable items are now reaching the end of their service life simultaneously. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 858 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between May 2022 and August 2023, where the vehicle covered only 12 miles in fifteen months. A more recent burst of use occurred between January 2025 and January 2026, with 2,659 miles covered in total. This erratic usage pattern suggests the bike sits for long periods, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid quality that a low odometer reading does not reflect. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection focusing on components affected with low-mileage storage. Priority should be given to checking for flat spotted tyres, perished brake hoses, and seized calipers which often occur due to lack of movement. Given the recent advisory on the rear tyre, an immediate replacement is likely required to ensure safety. Additionally, inspect the drive chain for excessive corrosion and check the fork seals for signs of weeping, as these often suffer when vehicles remain stationary for extended durations in damp environments.
