2022 Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 1.1L Petrol · OY72 VVZ

The most recent MOT, carried out on 3 March 2026, resulted in a Pass with two advisories concerning the front and rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit. The preceding test, dated 20 March 2025, also passed with no recorded defects. This pattern indicates a stable maintenance record with no progressive failures, although the tyre wear advisories suggest that the tread depth is approaching the minimum acceptable level and will require attention before the next test. At four years old the Tuono V4 has logged only 5,092 miles, equating to roughly 1,270 miles per annum. Such low utilisation is well below the typical annual mileage for a sport‑bike of this class and points to either very light riding or extended periods of storage. Low mileage reduces cumulative wear on the engine, transmission and suspension, but prolonged inactivity can promote corrosion of metal components, degradation of rubber compounds and electrolyte loss in the battery. Prospective buyers should give the tyres a thorough visual and tactile inspection. Even though the tread may still be within legal limits, the rubber can perishes after several years, especially if the bike has been stored in a warm or UV‑exposed environment; look for sidewall cracking, dry rot or uneven wear patterns that could indicate mis‑alignment or suspension issues. During a test ride listen for any thumping or vibration that may betray a developing tyre defect, and verify that the tyre pressures hold steady when the bike is stationary. In addition to the tyres, examine the condition of the battery, which on a 2022 model is likely a lithium‑ion unit; check the voltage and ensure it holds charge, as long periods of standing can cause capacity loss. Inspect the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, glazing or uneven wear, and confirm that the calipers operate without binding or excessive lever travel. Evaluate the suspension for any play in the fork seals, worn bushings or leaking oil, and confirm that the chain and sprockets are correctly tensioned and lubricated. Finally, confirm that the service book shows timely oil, coolant and brake fluid changes in line with the manufacturer’s calendar intervals, as time‑based fluid degradation can occur even with low mileage.
