2012 APRILIA SL 750 SHIVER GT0.8L Petrol

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of passes across the last three inspections. The most recent test in April 2025 at 16,901 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the motorcycle has been kept in a stable condition and that the mechanical and safety components met the required DVSA standards during the testing period. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,200 miles per year. Between May 2023 and May 2024, the bike covered only 537 miles, while it added another 2,850 miles in the year leading up to the April 2025 test. While the low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and brake pads, the long periods of inactivity implied by these figures can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or fluid contamination that MOT tests may not detect. Because the record shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults, a buyer should focus on issues related to low-mileage storage. Inspect the motorcycle for cracking in the rubber hoses, fork seals, and tyres, which often perish from age rather than use. Check the brake fluid for moisture ingress and ensure the chain and sprockets have not seized from sitting. Given the clean MOT history, the primary risks are not mechanical failure from wear but rather the effects of long-term storage and intermittent use.
