Ducati Diavel 1260 S (2019)
2019 Ducati Diavel 1260 S
CarHunch analysed 161 real MOT records for the 2019 Ducati Diavel 1260 S. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 DUCATI DIAVEL 1260 S is significantly more reliable than the UK average, with a 91.1% first-time pass rate compared to 80%, and only 2.5% of vehicles ever developing a dangerous defect. This is a genuinely strong result for a high-performance motorcycle and suggests the model is well-engineered and durable.
The median mileage of just 5,363 miles for a five-year-old bike is unusually low, indicating these are primarily owned by collectors or enthusiasts rather than commuters, which may explain both the excellent pass rate and the minimal failure rate of 0.24 per vehicle. The 1.1 advisories per vehicle are minor niggles rather than structural concerns—if you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection to check service history and confirm those low miles are genuine.
What to check before buying a 2019 Ducati Diavel 1260 S
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.
