2021 Aprilia RS125 0.1L Petrol · L452 DUE

The Aprilia RS125 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 15 April 2025 at 22,208 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the test on 1 February 2025 at 22,198 miles produced a failure, yet the DVSA entry logs no defects against the machine. This anomaly suggests an administrative or non-mechanical refusal rather than a component fault, and the swift re-test pass eleven weeks later confirms the vehicle was not carrying unresolved wear issues. Mileage accumulation across the record is low for a five-year-old vehicle. The first test on 27 January 2021 at 13,432 miles and the 25 January 2022 entry at 15,174 miles show roughly 1,700 miles added in twelve months. A long static period then follows: the next recorded test is 4 January 2024 at 16,098 miles, gaining only 924 miles across two years. From that point to the 2025 tests the bike covered about 6,110 miles in just over fifteen months, with the final gap between February and April 2025 showing a mere ten miles. The sparse, clean history with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion points to light use and minimal mechanical strain, though extended standing can age seals and perish hoses. A buyer should still verify in person the items the MOT system does not deeply probe on a motorcycle of this type. Check the front and rear brake discs for scoring and the calipers for any binding after the long dormant storage between 2022 and 2024. Inspect fork seals for weepage and the chain and sprockets for tight spots or elongation given the low but uneven mileage. Examine the exhaust system and frame junctions for early corrosion, and confirm tyre sidewalls have not cracked from age rather than wear. The absence of recorded faults is reassuring, but the 1 February 2025 failure with zero listed defects warrants a check of the DVSA refusal reason to rule out a documentation or identity mismatch before purchase.
