2010 Aprilia RSV 1.0L Petrol · J21 DBJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 24 April 2026 at 6,732 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend appears to be resolving after a period of intermittent minor failures. While the 2022 test at 4,667 miles required attention to a noisy exhaust and an incorrect registration plate, the subsequent two years of testing have shown no recurring mechanical issues or advisories. The mileage history indicates extremely low usage for a 2010 model, averaging approximately 421 miles per year. The record shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the gap between the 2019 test at 423 miles and the 2021 test at 3,807 miles. This pattern suggests the vehicle spends much of its life stationary. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to secondary issues related to long-term storage. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of components prone to degradation during periods of inactivity. The 2021 failure for a significantly worn nearside front brake disc suggests that even with low mileage, mechanical components can suffer from uneven wear or corrosion. You must check the brake discs, calipers, and pads for surface pitting or seizure. Given the low annual mileage, inspect the tyres for age-related cracking or flat spots, and examine the fuel system and seals for signs of drying out. The 2022 noisy exhaust fault warrants a check of the exhaust manifold and mounting points to ensure the system is secure and free from leaks. Although the recent tests are clean, the history of minor failures regarding reflectors and plates indicates a need to verify that all lighting and identification components are present and compliant. Focus on the integrity of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and fuel lines, which can perish when a vehicle remains unused for extended periods.
