2013 Ducati 899 0.9L Petrol · YP63 MHU

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean record across the last five annual inspections. The most recent test on 16 March 2026 at 13,908 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the motorcycle is consistently kept to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without any mechanical or structural failures being flagged by the tester over time. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,070 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 7,981 miles and March 2026 at 13,908 miles, the bike covered only 5,927 miles. This consistent low-usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been stored carefully, which limits wear on drivetrain components, engine internals, and brake surfaces. However, the lack of significant mileage means the primary risk shifts toward the degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry rather than distance-based wear. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must focus their physical inspection on age-related degradation rather than mileage-related fatigue. Low mileage often hides issues like dry rot in tyres, perished fork seals, and degraded brake seals that occur during long periods of standing. The buyer should check for cracking on tyre sidewalls and verify that the brake calipers have not seized due to infrequent use. Ensure that the brake fluid has been replaced regularly, as the MOT does not test the moisture content or chemical integrity of the fluids.
