2015 Ducati Multistrada 1.2L Petrol · WU15 FWD

The 2015 Ducati Multistrada presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 26 March 2026 at 5,524 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is a marked improvement over the only failure in the history, which occurred on 13 April 2018 at 5,324 miles when the tester flagged a binding front roller brake and an excessively high front headlamp aim. Both defects were rectified before the retest the following day, and no mechanical or lighting faults have reappeared across three subsequent passes. The record suggests the current custodian has kept the machine in sound working order. The mileage pattern is unusual and warrants scrutiny. Between the April 2018 pass at 5,324 miles and the April 2019 pass at 5,446 miles, the odometer advanced just 122 miles. Yet by August 2021 the recorded mileage had jumped sharply to 8,861 miles, representing an addition of roughly 3,415 miles in just over two years. That figure is inconsistent with the 5,524 miles showing at the March 2026 test, implying either a data entry anomaly, a replacement speedometer, or a period where the recorded mileage was not updated. A buyer should verify the true mileage against service invoices, chain and sprocket wear, and general cosmetic condition before relying on the MOT record alone. Despite the low recorded mileage, the machine is eleven years old, and age-related deterioration is a more pressing concern than wear. Suspension seals, brake hoses, coolant hoses, and rubber fork gaiters can perish from dry rot even on a lightly used motorcycle. The single historical advisory on headlamp aim points to a possible past incident or adjustment drift, so a static check of beam pattern and switch function is advisable. Corrosion on the frame, particularly around the steering head and rear subframe mounting points, should be inspected carefully given the long periods of low use implied by the mileage gaps. The binding front brake recorded in 2018 has not recurred, but a practical test ride remains essential. A dragging caliper or warped disc may not always present under static MOT conditions. Check for uneven pad wear, smooth disc surfaces, and free rotation of both wheels with the bike on a stand. Given the sparse but largely clean MOT history, this Multistrada appears mechanically sound on paper, but the mileage inconsistencies and age of the machine demand a thorough in-person inspection of structural integrity, fluid condition, and braking performance before purchase.
