2016 Ducati 1299 1.3L Petrol · WR66 ULH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on 28 May 2026 at 16,802 miles. This result follows a period of consistent passes where no significant mechanical defects were identified. While a minor failure occurred on 30 May 2025 due to a missing rear reflector, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass suggest an owner who remains attentive to basic compliance and vehicle safety requirements. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,680 miles per year. Between the May 2023 test at 13,147 miles and the June 2024 test at 14,378 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,231 miles in a year. The more recent interval between May 2025 and May 2026 saw a slight increase in usage, with the odometer rising by 1,575 miles. This consistent low-frequency usage indicates the bike has likely spent long periods stationary rather than being subjected to heavy commuting stress. Because the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, a buyer must focus on the specific risks of low-mileage storage. Stationary vehicles often suffer from dry-rotted components, perished rubber seals, and degraded fluids despite the low mechanical wear. Inspection should prioritise checking sidewall cracking on the tyres, check for fork oil leaks, and verify that the brake fluid has not absorbed moisture. Given the age and low mileage, the drive chain and sprockets should be examined for surface rust or seizing which frequently occurs during periods of inactivity.
