2002 Aprilia 1.0L Petrol · CV52 LCO

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent string of clean passes over several years. The most recent test on 21 May 2026 at 22,518 miles resulted in no recorded defects, maintaining a stable maintenance trend. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in motorcycles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-four-year-old machine, averaging approximately 938 miles per year. However, a significant discrepancy exists in the records between February 2022 and May 2023, where the mileage jumped from 32,240 to 32,270 miles, followed by a sharp drop to 20,479 miles by April 2024. This non-linear data suggests either a clerical entry error during the testing process or an odometer replacement. Despite this, the overall low mileage indicates the vehicle has likely sat for long periods at a time. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must account for the risks associated with long-term storage and low usage. A physical inspection should focus on identifying perished rubber components, such as split brake lines and fork seals, which degrade due to age rather than mileage. The buyer should also check for seized brake calipers or flat spotted tyres, as infrequent use often leads to corrosion on moving parts. Inspecting the frame for surface rust is also vital, as low mileage does not protect structural integrity from environmental moisture over two decades.
