2012 Aprilia Tuono 1.0L Petrol · PX12 BBZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 12 April 2025 at 13,186 miles with no defects recorded. While the bike failed a test on 24 March 2025 at 12,931 miles, the record shows no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately before the successful retest. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 14 year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 942 miles per year. The distance covered between 6 July 2020 at 6,871 miles and 12 April 2025 at 13,186 miles shows a consistent, light usage pattern. There are no sudden spikes in mileage that would indicate heavy short-term use or commercial exploitation. A clean MOT history without advisories is positive but can mask issues associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres for perishing or flat spots and check the brake fluid for moisture contamination. The low mileage suggests the engine may not have been heat-cycled frequently, so checking for oil leaks or perished rubber hoses is advisable. Attention should be paid to the battery health and the condition of the fuel system, as bikes that stand for long periods often suffer from fuel degradation. Verify that the suspension forks are not leaking and that the chain and sprockets have been lubricated and tensioned despite the low mileage. The lack of recorded corrosion or structural failures in the DVSA data is encouraging, but a manual check for surface rust on the frame and swingarm remains necessary.
