2007 Aprilia Pegaso 650 0.7L Petrol · AE07 AEW

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status, showing a stable maintenance trend in its most recent inspections. The latest MOT conducted in May 2025 at 26,209 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This follows a failure in May 2024 due to a front tyre with a tread depth of 1.0mm, which was rectified immediately to pass the retest just one day later. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nineteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,379 miles per year. There is a significant four-year gap in records between May 2016 and May 2020, where the bike covered only 250 miles. Since 2020, usage has increased more consistently, covering roughly 5,900 miles over the last six years. This pattern suggests the vehicle has spent long periods in storage or stationary, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front braking system, as the record shows a recurring trend of pads reaching the minimum limit in 2013, 2014, 2022, and 2023. This indicates the owner typically waits until components are near failure before replacement. Additionally, the 2020 failure related to a worn rear lower suspension arm pin and play in the swingarm linkage requires a thorough check to ensure the bushing wear has not returned. Given the low mileage and high age, verify the condition of the brake hoses, perished seals, and any corrosion on the frame that may not be captured in a standard MOT test.
