1997 Aprilia Moto 6.5 0.6L Petrol · R275 KUB

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 28 June 2025 with 1,176 miles and no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes since an initial failure in April 2018. The lack of advisories across the last three tests suggests that the vehicle has remained in a good condition during its limited periods of operation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 29-year-old machine, averaging approximately 41 miles per year. Data shows a very slow progression from 1,125 miles in April 2018 to 1,176 miles in June 2025. This minimal usage indicates the vehicle has spent long periods in storage rather than being used for regular commuting. While the low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often introduces risks associated with age-related degradation that an MOT does not fully capture. A buyer must look beyond the MOT record to inspect for signs of long-term standing. Because the vehicle has covered so little distance over decades, a physical inspection should check for perished rubber components, degraded fuel lines, and seized brake calipers resulting from lack of movement. Particular attention should be paid to structural corrosion on the frame, as environmental factors persist regardless of how few miles are driven. The tyres should also be checked for sidew cracking and dry rot, as tread depth likely remains sufficient despite the age.
