2004 Aprilia Tuono 1.0L Petrol · FN04 JVK

The Aprilia Tuono presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 17 October 2025 at 20,868 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five available MOT entries from 5 April 2022 to that 2025 test, the machine cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure. The upkeep pattern shows no worsening faults and no recurring mechanical concerns across the recorded period. The mileage progression reinforces the low-use profile for a 2004 machine. The record shows 19,503 miles on 4 April 2022, rising to 19,892 by 11 April 2022's retest window of 4 November 2022 at 19,892, then 20,594 on 1 November 2023, 20,760 on 12 November 2024, and 20,868 on 17 October 2025. That totals roughly 1,365 miles over three and a half years, or about 390 miles per year. No gaps exceed twelve months between tests, and the sparse, clean history suggests the prior keeper stored the bike indoors and rode it sparingly rather than neglecting statutory testing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. Low annual mileage combined with standing time invites degraded suspension bushes, hardened fork seals, and surface corrosion on the frame or exhaust that a visual MOT check may not capture. The brake calipers and discs merit strip-down scrutiny for internal binding or pitting from disuse. Verify the odometer reading against service stamps and V5C documentation, since the 20,868 figure is plausible but unconfirmed by invoices. Confirm the absence of structural rust at the subframe and steering head, and test-ride to expose any transmission or clutch drag unseen in a static test.
