2012 Aprilia RS4 0.1L Petrol · AD12 AFV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on October 2 2023 at 5,790 miles. This test resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met the minimum standard at that time. The history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests with no major failures or recurring mechanical issues reported across the documented testing periods. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 414 miles per year. There is a significant eight-year gap between the October 2014 test at 971 miles and the August 2022 test at 4,741 miles, which suggests the vehicle spent long periods in stationary storage. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals and the 2022 advisory regarding a central rear plug in the tyre indicate that the bike has been subject to minor incidental damage rather than mechanical fatigue. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by long-term storage and low usage. Check for perish or cracking in the tyres, rubber hoses, and fork seals, which degrade over time regardless of distance traveled. The 2022 advisory for a tyre plug suggests the tyre should be inspected for bead damage to ensure structural integrity. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and the calipers for seizing, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from brake rust and fluid degradation when standing for extended periods.
