2008 Aprilia Mojito 125 0.1L Petrol · LK57 EYL

The 2008 Aprilia Mojito 125 presents a stable and clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 4 March 2022 at 18,503 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This outcome, combined with a history of consistently clean passes, indicates a maintenance trend that is stable and well-managed. The vehicle has no history of recurring mechanical or structural failures, which is a strong positive indicator for a scooter of this age. The mileage pattern reveals exceptionally low usage. Between the test on 26 July 2018 at 18,311 miles and the final test on 4 March 2022 at 18,503 miles, the scooter covered only 192 miles over approximately three and a half years. This suggests prolonged periods of standing, which carries its own risks. A machine used this sparingly may suffer from deteriorated rubber components, stale fuel system issues, or corrosion from inactivity rather than from wear and tear. The overall recorded mileage of 18,503 miles is very low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on the specific risks associated with low-mileage, infrequently used vehicles. The tyres, while possibly showing adequate tread, are almost certainly aged and will require replacement due to date code degradation, a factor not assessed during an MOT. The brake system, including calipers, discs, and fluid, must be checked for seizure or corrosion from standing. Critical suspension components, such as fork seals and rear shock absorbers, should be examined for oil leaks or deterioration. Finally, a close visual inspection of the frame, welds, and any exposed metalwork is essential to identify surface corrosion or structural compromise that can develop from storage in damp conditions.
