2022 Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 1.1L Petrol · AF22 YEX

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 5 May 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from the previous inspection on 12 April 2025. Based on these official records, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, indicating that the motorcycle has been kept in a condition that meets or exceeds the minimum legal roadworthiness standards without any recurring mechanical failures or deteriorating components. With a recorded mileage of 9,396 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 2,349 miles per year. This is considered low usage for a performance motorcycle of this nature. While low mileage generally suggests reduced wear on the engine internals, gearbox, and final drive, it also indicates that the machine may have spent significant periods in storage. Such usage patterns shift the mechanical risk from wear-and-tear degradation to issues associated with stasis and time-based deterioration. Given the clean MOT history and low annual mileage, a physical inspection should prioritise components affected by age rather than use. The buyer must carefully examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber compounds can harden and lose grip over time regardless of remaining tread depth. Particular attention should be paid to the braking system; check for binding calipers or excessive surface corrosion on the brake discs, which can occur when a vehicle stands for extended periods. A test drive should be used to ensure there is no shuddering under braking and that the suspension operates smoothly without stiction. Furthermore, the buyer should verify the health of the 12V battery and check the service history for evidence of calendar-based maintenance. Brake fluid and engine coolant degrade over time through moisture absorption and chemical breakdown, meaning they require replacement based on age even if mileage is low. The drive chain and sprockets should be inspected for surface oxidation or lack of lubrication, which can lead to premature kinking. Finally, ensure the service book is stamped to confirm that the manufacturer's recommended intervals have been adhered to, ensuring the long-term reliability of the V4 powerplant.
