2017 Ducati 959 1.0L Petrol · WM17 FCA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 11 November 2021 at 1,769 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that at the time of last inspection, the motorcycle met all statutory requirements, though the lack of recent data suggests it has not been tested for several years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 197 miles per year. Between the April 2021 test at 1,557 miles and the November 2021 test at 1,769 miles, the bike covered only 212 miles over a seven-month period. There is a significant gap in records following the November 2021 entry, suggesting the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods or is being used so infrequently that it lacks current test documentation in the DVSA database. A buyer must focus on the risks associated with long-term storage rather than high mechanical wear. Low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, such as perished tyres, cracked brake lines, and leaking fork seals. A physical inspection should check for flat spots on the tyres, corrosion on the brake discs, and signs of fluid ingress. Given the age and the low recorded mileage, the fuel and drive chain should also be inspected for oxidation or degradation from lack of use.
