Ducati 750 (2001)
2001 Ducati 750
CarHunch analysed 125 real MOT records for the 2001 Ducati 750. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2001 Ducati 750 passes its MOT first time in 86.2% of cases, which beats the UK average of 80% and suggests these bikes are generally well-maintained by their owners. Only 11.2% have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so serious safety issues are uncommon in this cohort.
These Ducatis are running relatively light at a median of 13,210 miles for their age, which partly explains the strong pass rate; the average 1.41 failures per test and 3.6 advisories per vehicle indicate minor wear rather than structural problems. When buying, check the service history carefully since owner maintenance discipline clearly matters here, and budget for consumables like brakes and tyres that rack up the advisory count.
What to check before buying a 2001 Ducati 750
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
