2014 Aprilia RS125 0.1L Petrol · DK66 AKJ

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently questionable due to the most recent MOT test outcome. While the bike passed its previous inspections in 2019 and 2020 without any defects, the test on 15 October 2021 at 3,679 miles resulted in a failure. Because no specific defects were recorded in the summary, the failure suggests a mechanical or compliance issue that prevented the vehicle from meeting minimum roadworthiness standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 300 miles per year. Between November 2019 at 3,132 miles and October 2021 at 3,679 miles, the vehicle covered only 547 miles over nearly two years. This sparse usage indicates the bike has spent long periods sitting stationary rather than in active use. Low mileage often leads to degradation of rubber-based components, fuel spoilage, and corrosion on exposed surfaces, despite the low wear indicated on the odometer. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to address the risks associated with long-term storage. Focus attention on potential flat spots on the tyres, perished brake lines, and check for seized brake calipers or rusted pistons due to lack of movement. Given the 2021 failure and the significant gap in records since then, the structural integrity of the frame and the condition of the fork seals should be verified. The fuel system and cooling system also require close scrutiny to ensure no varnish or corrosion has occurred during the extended periods of inactivity.
