2017 Ducati Supersport S 0.9L Petrol · WM17 FCC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive neglect following several years of clean records. The most recent test on 15 May 2026 at 10,568 miles identified three distinct issues: loose nearside lower fairing with missing fixings, a slightly tight drive chain, and fluctuations in front brake effort. These defects suggest that while the bike passes the legal minimum, mechanical adjustments and cosmetic upkeep are beginning to slip between service intervals. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,174 miles per year. While low mileage generally preserves engine-wear and drivetrain components, there is a notable gap in activity between January 2022 at 8,831 miles and April 2023 at 9,205 miles, where the bike covered fewer than 400 miles in over fourteen months. This pattern often suggests long periods of standing, which can lead to degradation of rubber components, fluid seals, and internal corrosion of brake surfaces despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must investigate the front braking system due to the fluctuation in effort noted in the 2026 test, which often indicates air in the lines, a failing master cylinder, or pitted rotors. The drive chain requires immediate tension adjustment and lubrication to prevent premature wear on the sprockets. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding the rear tyre at 1.8mm demonstrates that the previous owner operated the tyres until they reached the legal limit. Physical inspection of the fairing mounts for missing hardware is also necessary to ensure the bodywork has not suffered vibration-related damage.
