2012 Aprilia RS4 0.1L Petrol · LF12 YUX

The vehicle is currently not in a verifiable roadworthy state as the last MOT test dates back to June 2022. While that specific test at 28,171 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories, the bike has been without a valid certificate for over four years. There is no recent data to confirm the current condition of the mechanical components or the structural integrity of the chassis. The recorded mileage of 28,171 miles is low for a 14 year old machine, averaging roughly 2,012 miles per year. However, the total mileage remained stagnant between the 2022 test and the current date of July 2026. This indicates the vehicle has likely been standing idle for a significant period. Long-term inactivity often leads to specific degradation that an MOT record cannot capture. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and fuel system. Standing vehicles frequently suffer from binding calipers and perished brake seals. The fuel system should be checked for varnish or gumming in the injectors and tank due to old fuel. Check the tyres for flat spots and sidewall cracking, as rubber degrades regardless of tread depth when stationary. Attention should also be paid to the battery health and fluid levels. The lack of recent usage suggests the battery may be depleted or failed. Inspect the fork seals for leaks and ensure the chain is lubricated and not seized. Given the four year gap in testing, a full mechanical service is necessary to ensure the bike is safe for road use.
