2014 Ducati Diavel 1.2L Petrol · WM14 VLS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a lapse in basic maintenance standards. While it passed its latest test in July 2025 at 7,499 miles, this followed a significant failure just two weeks prior. That failure revealed multiple safety-related defects, including critically worn tyres and missing lighting components. The transition from three clean records to a failed test suggests that the previous owner neglected routine consumable replacements until forced by the annual inspection process. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2014 Ducvel, averaging approximately 625 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between May 2022 and June 2023, where the bike covered only 1,492 miles, followed by a more consistent 1,464 miles in the following year. This pattern suggests the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between rides. While low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk of rubber component degradation, flat-spotting tyres, and fluid acidity from oxidation. A buyer must inspect the condition of the tyres thoroughly, as the June 2025 failure proved they were worn to the legal limit of 1.0mm. Despite the low mileage, the rubber should be checked for cracking or dry rot due to its age. The bent rear brake pedal noted in both the June and July 2025 tests remains a functional but aesthetic defect that should be assessed for any potential binding or damage to the master cylinder. Given the long periods of inactivity, a physical inspection for corrosion on the brake discs and fork seals is essential, as these components often seize when a motorcycle is not used regularly.
