WTF??? you must be joking, who quoted that then??? must be ohhhh £100.00++/hour labour charges, robin bastars

In my humble opinion belts don't just break IF there is no aditional loading on them other than in tolerance valve operation.

If/when they break its not old age but more likely seized idler/tensioner bearings, tight closer clearance, poor adjustment, loose pulleys etc etc.
Or P--S Poor quality control in Ducati case,but agree totally age is not a factor.
