2010 Aprilia RSV 1.0L Petrol · AE60 EEX

The Aprilia RSV presents as roadworthy following the April 2025 test cycle, with the most recent pass recorded on 12 April 2025 at 8,717 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, as every recorded test from 2022 onward resulted in a pass with no advisories or faults logged. The duplicate 12 April 2025 entries, one fail and one pass at identical mileage with no defects cited, indicate an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical defect, and do not alter the clean status. The machine is a 2010 model covering roughly 545 miles per year, a low figure for its age. Recorded mileage moved from 7,268 at the 5 May 2022 test to 7,315 on 25 April 2024, then to 8,717 by April 2025. That is only 1,449 miles across three years. A gap exists between the 2022 and 2024 tests of nearly two years, suggesting the bike stood unused for long periods. Low use and storage can mask degraded rubber components, seized calipers, or flat-spotted tyres not caught in a static test. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension linkages, fork seals, and rear shock for weepage or perished bushes given the standing time. Brake calipers may bind from inactivity; the tester logged no binding at the 2025 pass, but strip and clean the fronts regardless. Check the exhaust for internal corrosion and confirm emissions against the Aprilia limits, as a dormant silencer rots from inside. Tyres will likely be aged beyond safe service life despite adequate tread, and the battery may be weak from disuse. No structural advisories appear in the record, yet examine the frame and subframe joints for surface rust where road salt reached. The clean MOT trail implies prior owners kept basic statutory testing current, but low mileage alone does not confirm thorough mechanical care.
