2012 Aprilia Tuono V4 R Aprc 1.0L Petrol · LT12 AFO

The 2012 Aprilia Tuono V4 R APRC demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all five MOT tests from 2022 to 2026 passing without defects. The most recent March 2026 test at 7,446 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with the consistent pattern of prior results. No recurring mechanical or structural faults were recorded, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards. The absence of advisories or failures indicates the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep, though this does not guarantee comprehensive servicing beyond MOT requirements. The bike’s mileage of 7,446 miles over 14 years equates to approximately 532 annual miles, a low figure that may reflect infrequent use or prolonged storage. Mileage progression shows irregularity: from 3,362 miles in March 2022 to 4,722 in March 2023 (a 1,360-mile increase), then 5,606 in April 2024 (884 miles), 6,717 in April 2025 (1,111 miles), and 7,446 in March 2026 (729 miles). These fluctuations suggest variable usage patterns, with potential risks of component stagnation during periods of inactivity. While no corrosion or wear was flagged, low mileage alone does not preclude hidden issues in seals, fluids, or electrical systems. A buyer should physically inspect the bike for signs of neglect, such as dry-rotted tyres, degraded rubber components, or battery health, as these may not appear in MOT records. Focus on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop during prolonged storage. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be checked for rust, particularly if the vehicle was exposed to harsh conditions. Despite the clean MOT history, the low mileage and sporadic usage patterns warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the bike’s mechanical and electrical systems remain functional.
