2002 Aprilia RS125 0.1L Petrol · LF52 LLU

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards developing suspension-related leaks. The most recent test in September 2022 at 19,135 miles passed with only a light misting of oil on the rear shock absorber. This represents a progression from the issues noted in 2017 regarding the front shock stanchion, suggesting that the seals are beginning to degrade with age despite the low usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 800 miles per year. There is a significant three-year gap between the 2017 and 2020 tests, during which time the bike covered only 2,954 miles. This pattern indicates the vehicle likely sits stationary for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished fuel, and internal corrosion rather than mechanical wear from distance. The lack of mileage accumulation in the last four years suggests the bike is used only for occasional trips. A buyer must physically inspect the suspension system thoroughly, as the recurring flagging of oil misting on both the front in 2017 and the rear in 2022 indicates a systemic failure of damper seals. The drive chain should be checked for excessive stretch and rust, as the 2017 record already identified it as worn. Given the low mileage and history of standing, the buyer should also verify that the missing pegs and insecure fairings noted in 2020 have been properly rectified and check the brake lines for signs of cracking or perished rubber.
