2013 Aprilia SR Motard 50 0.0L Petrol · FL63 LUJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a period of instability followed by improvement. The most recent test in December 2021 at 24,384 miles resulted in no recorded defects, suggesting that previous mechanical issues were addressed. This follows a more problematic period between 2019 and 2020 where the bike failed a test and accumulated multiple advisories requiring immediate attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,876 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between November 2019 and December 2021, where the vehicle covered nearly 9,500 miles in two years. This pattern suggests the bike may have sat stationary for long periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, prolonged storage often leads to degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and corrosion that is not reflected in the odometer. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the steering assembly, as this was flagged in three separate tests between 2019 and 2020 for being stiff, notchy, or having free play. While the 2021 test was clean, the recurring nature of the steering headbearing issue indicates a potential point of failure. The exhaust system should also be checked for leaks or internal damage, given the noise faults that caused a failure in late 2019. Given the low mileage and the age of the vehicle, inspect the tyres for age cracking and the brake lines for signs of perishing. The 2020 advisory regarding a worn rear tyre indicates that the previous owner neglected basic consumables until they reached legal limits. Ensure the handlebar grips remain secure, as this was previously a reason for failure in 2019.
