2015 Aprilia Caponord 1.2L Petrol · AE65 YGJ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in September 2023 at 5,511 miles passed but identified specific wear, including a worn rear shock absorber bush and a front tyre nearing the legal tread limit. These findings suggest that while the motorcycle is operational, components are only being addressed as they approach the point of failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old machine, averaging approximately 501 miles per year. There is a significant four-year data gap between the January 2019 test at 5,433 miles and the September 2023 test at 5,511 miles, during which only 78 miles were recorded. Such inactivity suggests the bike sat for extended periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, fluid acidity, and tyre deformation that mileage does not reflect. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system, specifically checking the rear shock mounting to ensure the noted bush has not perished or perished further. Because the front tyre was recorded at 2.2mm in 2023, it is likely well beyond the legal limit now and requires immediate replacement. Given the low usage, inspect the brake discs for pitting or surface corrosion and the fork seals, as long-term storage frequently causes these components to seize or degrade.
