What Ducati Multistrada 950 S failures look like

1,769 Ducati Multistrada 950 S tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with brakes on 153 tests (8.6%), with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 74 tests (4.2%) and with body, structure and attachments on 60 tests (3.4%). A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.
