Ducati 900 (2000)
2000 Ducati 900
CarHunch analysed 112 real MOT records for the 2000 Ducati 900. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2000 Ducati 900 passes its MOT on the first attempt 87.9% of the time, comfortably above the UK average of 80%, which suggests these bikes have held up reasonably well over two decades. Only 10.7% have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so safety issues are not a widespread concern for the model.
These machines are running low mileage for their age—a median of 12,530 miles—which hints at careful ownership and limited use over the years. With an average of 0.93 failures and 4.1 advisories per test, the typical issue is minor wear rather than structural failure; before buying, have any prospective purchase inspected by a Ducati specialist to check the engine's internal condition, since high-mileage examples will be the real risk.
What to check before buying a 2000 Ducati 900
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.
