1998 APRILIA RS 2500.2L Petrol

The Aprilia RS 250 shows a fully roadworthy status as of the 7 April 2026 MOT test at 14,054 miles, where the examiner recorded no defects and no advisories. Supplied test history from 2021 onward displays a stable maintenance trend, with each examination ending in a pass and zero flagged mechanical or structural concerns. The vehicle is twenty-eight years old but carries only 14,054 recorded miles, equating to roughly 502 miles annually across its lifespan. Within the MOT data, odometer readings crept from 14,027 on 27 October 2021 to 14,034 on 2 February 2023, then to 14,041 on 29 January 2024, 14,047 on 31 March 2025, and 14,054 on 7 April 2026. This totals 27 miles added over four and a half years, confirming extended periods of storage rather than active use. The dataset is sparse, omitting any entry for 2022, and covers merely the recent fifth of the machine's life, yet every presented test returned clean. No recurring faults appear in the records, so the buyer finds no worsening pattern of suspension bushes, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions failures to investigate. Age and inactivity pose risks invisible to a pass certificate. The purchaser should physically scrutinise fork seals for weeping, brake discs for corrosion, and caliper slide pins for binding after long dormancy. Tyres may exhibit sidewall cracking despite legal tread, given rubber perishes with time. Structural integrity around the frame welds and exhaust hangers demands close inspection for rust, while suspension bearings and linkage greasing should be verified before road use.
