2014 Ducati Multistrada 1.2L Petrol · YS14 KBK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a downward trend in maintenance standards. While it passed the test on 7 May 2026 at 24,533 miles, it had failed just days prior due to multiple defects. The tester flagged a brake pedal with insufficient reserve travel, which is a critical safety failure that required immediate rectification. The presence of multiple advisories regarding tyres and mechanical components suggests that the previous owner neglected routine preventative maintenance until the annual test forced action. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,044 miles per year. The record shows significant gaps in usage between July 2022 at 18,519 miles and July 2024 at 22,676 miles, where the bike covered only 4,157 miles in two years. This low usage often explains the low wear on components like the engine and drivetrain, but long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and internal corrosion in the fluid systems which are not captured by mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front wheel bearing, as the slight play noted in May 2026 indicates the bearing is nearing end of life. The drive chain also requires checking for tension and sprocket wear, as it was flagged as loose during the most recent test. Furthermore, the recurring issue of a noisy offside rear exhaust noted in both 2023 and 2024 suggests a loose mounting bracket or internal baffle damage that has not been properly addressed. Given the recent failure regarding brake travel, the hydraulic system and master cylinder should be inspected for leaks or air ingress to ensure the braking system remains stable.
