2016 Ducati Diavel 1.2L Petrol · YH16 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its recent testing history. The most recent inspection on June 6, 2025 at 32,750 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets all minimum UK safety standards. This follows a clean pass in June 2024 at 29,017 miles, suggesting that the owner has maintained the mechanical and structural integrity effectively over the last year. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 3,275 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between March 2022 (21,802 miles) and March 2023 (24,500 miles), where the bike covered only 2,698 miles in twelve months. The failure in March 2024 at 28,982 miles occurred just 35 miles before the vehicle successfully passed again in June, likely indicating a minor or consumable-related failure that was quickly rectified rather than a chronic mechanical issue. While the MOT record is clean, the buyer must account for the specific risks associated with low-mileage, older machinery. Long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as perished brake lines, fork seals, and aged tyre compounds. A physical inspection should focus on checking the fork oil for leaks and verifying the condition of the brake discs despite low mileage. Given the age and relatively low use, the drive chain and sprockets should be examined for surface rust or dry spots, which often occur when a vehicle is not used frequently.
