Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but consider this a strong candidate if the service history is documented. While the low mileage is highly attractive, the MOT history suggests a history of aftermarket modifications and minor maintenance neglect.
Given the engine size of 999cc, ensure you have a full service history, specifically regarding valve clearances which are critical on high-performance Italian V-twins. The MOT history shows a recurring advisory for 'noisy exhaust' and a past failure for excessive noise; you should check if the current exhaust system is road-legal and meets noise regulations to avoid future MOT issues.
Negotiate based on the recent history of consumables. While the 2023 MOT noted a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, check the current tread depth. Additionally, verify that the fuel cap is fully functional and easy to unlock, as this was a specific failure point in 2023.
As a 1000cc performance motorcycle, running costs will be higher than a standard commuter bike. Expect higher insurance groups due to the Aprilia brand and the engine capacity. Fuel economy will be moderate, typical for a large-capacity naked bike.
Maintenance costs can be premium; parts for Italian marques are often more expensive than Japanese counterparts. Budget for regular oil changes and high-quality tyres. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, insurance, and routine maintenance, would be in the region of £1,200-£1,600 depending on your riding style and insurance profile.
Pay close attention to the exhaust system. The MOT history (Tests 5, 6, and 7) repeatedly flags noise issues, suggesting an aftermarket silencer is fitted. Ensure it is not excessively loud and that the mounting is secure.
Check the electrical and lighting components, specifically the rear reflector and registration plate, as these have caused previous MOT failures. Finally, test the fuel cap mechanism; the 2023 MOT failure noted an inability to unlock the cap, which is a significant functional issue that must be resolved.
This 2013 Aprilia Tuono is a low-mileage example, having covered just 18,308 miles in 13 years. The MOT history shows a pattern of passing tests, though it has faced failures related to non-standard exhaust noise, registration plates, and missing reflectors. The overall condition appears stable in recent years, with a clean pass in June 2026.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Aprilia Tuono, so individual vehicle history is the primary indicator of condition.
