APRILIA RSV2009 · 1.0L Petrol

The 2009 Aprilia RSV presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 5 September 2024 at 7,077 miles which recorded no defects. The three prior annual tests from September 2021 through September 2023 also passed cleanly with no advisories or faults raised, showing consistent mechanical condition across the observed period. Recorded mileage sits at 7,077 miles against an approximate 17-year age, equating to roughly 416 miles per year. The tests show gentle accumulation: 6,707 miles at the September 2021 failure, 6,724 at the September 2021 pass two days later, 6,902 by September 2022, 7,036 by September 2023, and 7,077 by September 2024. Such low, steady use with no gaps or sudden jumps suggests long standing periods rather than active wear, though the sparse five-entry history limits deeper trend analysis. The only blemish is the failed test on 7 September 2021 at 6,707 miles, where the DVSA system logs no defects recorded against the failure. This anomalous entry, reversed by a pass on 9 September 2021 at 6,724 miles with no faults, implies an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical defect. No recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, corrosion, or exhaust emission problems appear across the record. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection focused on age-related degradation invisible to MOT: hardened fork seals, perished coolant hoses, and structural rust on the frame or swingarm from prolonged storage. The clean test sheet does not exempt the machine from consumable decay typical of a low-mileage 2009 Italian sports bike left idle for long stretches.
