2015 Ducati 1299 1.3L Petrol · YN15 YSB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in basic consumable management. The most recent test on 29 May 2026 at 6,187 miles passed despite both front and rear tyres being flagged as worn close to the legal limit. This follows a recurring pattern observed in June 2025 and July 2024, where the front tyre was consistently noted for excessive wear despite the very low annual mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 562 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between June 2022 and July 2023, where the bike covered only 672 miles, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 1,853 miles between July 2023 and May 2026. This pattern of low-frequency use suggests the vehicle spends long periods standing stationary, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown that is not captured by mileage depth measurements alone. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres for flat spotting and sidew cracking, as the record indicates they are being run to the end of their life. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for seized brake caliper pistons, perished fork seals, and corrosion on the drive chain and sprocket. The recurring advisories regarding tyre wear suggest a reactive maintenance approach rather than preventative care, necessitating a thorough check of the structural integrity and the condition of the mechanical components that do not fail during standard MOT testing.
