1998 Aprilia Leonardo 0.1L Other · VAZ 4211

The 1998 Aprilia Leonardo is presently roadworthy, as confirmed by the June 2025 MOT at 11,799 miles which recorded no defects. The recent pass indicates a stable maintenance record with no recurring faults. The mileage has risen only modestly over the past two years, increasing from 9,263 miles in May 2023 to 11,799 miles in June 2025, a gain of roughly 2,536 miles or 421 miles per year, consistent with its low annual usage. Earlier tests in May 2024 at 10,870 miles and May 2024 at 10,875 miles showed no defects, and the May 2023 test at 9,263 miles also recorded no defects. The interval between the May 2023 test and the May 2024 test spans one year and six months, during which the mileage rose by 1,607 miles. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brakes are not binding, inspect the brake discs and pads for scoring, and check the condition of the exhaust system and chassis for structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and sills. The tyres, although low mileage, may show dry rot given the vehicle’s age, so their condition should be assessed. Because the car is 28 years old and has accumulated little distance, the primary concerns are age related deterioration of rubber components and potential corrosion rather than high speed wear, so a thorough visual and functional inspection is advisable before purchase.
