2008 Aprilia RS125 0.1L Petrol · AE08 HMF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in April 2025 at 18,485 miles. This most recent inspection recorded no defects or advisories, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets all DVSA safety and environmental standards. While the history shows past mechanical failures and consumable issues, the current trend suggests the bike has been maintained to a functional standard of operation over the last decade. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,000 miles per year. There is a significant eleven-year gap between the March 2014 test and the April 2025 test, during which the vehicle covered only 1,357 miles. This pattern suggests the bike likely sat for long periods or was used very sparingly. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often increases the risk of rubber degradation, perished seals, and internal corrosion due to lack of regular use. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system during a physical inspection, as the March 2013 failure at 9,001 miles revealed sticking front and rear brakes. Although these were rectified, long periods of inactivity can lead to seized caliper pistons or degraded brake fluid. Check the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking, as the 2011 record already flagged them as reaching the legal limit and the age of the rubber likely exceeds its safe lifespan regardless of tread depth. Inspect the frame for structural rust, which can affect low-mileage bikes stored in damp environments.
