2014 Ducati M 1.2L Petrol · WM14 VLR

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 11 April 2024 at 6,364 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met all regulatory requirements. This follows a trend where the motorcycle has avoided major mechanical failures over the last five testing cycles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old machine, averaging approximately 530 miles per year. Between September 2019 and April 2023, the bike covered only 471 miles, suggesting it sits in storage for long periods between minimal use. While this low usage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the significant gaps between tests, such as the fourteen-month interval between October 2021 and April 2023, indicate that the vehicle is subject to age degradation rather than mechanical fatigue. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on risks associated with low-mileage storage. The September 2020 test at 5,986 miles flagged a slight fluctuation in front brake effort, which often indicates surface corrosion on the discs or seizing caliper pistons due to inactivity. Despite this being resolved in subsequent tests, the buyer should check for perished brake lines, degraded rubber seals, and flat spots on the tyres that mileage depth would not reveal. Additionally, inspect the chain for deep rust and fuel integrity, as stationary vehicles are prone to internal oxidation that MOT records cannot fully detect.
