2011 APRILIA SL 750 SHIVER GT0.8L Petrol

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test in June 2025 at 38,784 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, mirroring the results of the previous three inspections. This clean record suggests the current owner has maintained the motorcycle to a standard that avoids triggering mechanical or structural failures during the DVSA testing process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 2,586 miles per year. Between March 2022 and June 2025, the vehicle covered only 1,452 miles, indicating periods of very light use or long-term storage. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the lack of rapid mileage accumulation means the components have not been subjected to frequent mechanical stress. However, the low usage implies the bike has spent significant time stationary, which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components regardless of the odometer reading. Because the MOT history shows no recurring faults or failures, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by age rather than mileage. A buyer must check for perished fork seals, degraded hoses, and brake lines that may show signs of cracking from lack of use. Inspect the frame for corrosion and the swingarm for play, as low mileage does not prevent environmental-related oxidation. Since the MOT record does not flag binding calipers or suspension leaks, ensure the fluid levels are correct and the tyres have not flatotted from periods of standing.
