2002 Aprilia RS125R 0.1L Petrol · PN52 PFY

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT test conducted in August 2024 at 19,351 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the motorcycle met all essential safety standards at that time. This follows a clean pass in October 2022, suggesting that the mechanical and structural condition have remained consistent over the last two years of recorded use. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old machine, averaging approximately 800 miles per year. There is a significant data gap between the June 2009 and October 2022 tests, during which the vehicle only advanced by 12 miles over thirteen years. This suggests the bike spent long periods in static storage or was used very infrequently. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, perished seals, and aged fluid which MOT tests do not fully capture. A physical inspection should focus on the areas previously flagged for wear or those susceptible to long-term sitting. The 2009 test identified free play in the centre rear suspension bush and insecure fairings, while the 2005 record noted rough front wheel bearings and low brake pads. A buyer must verify that the suspension bushes have not perished or cracked and that the wheel bearings remain free of play. Given the age and low usage, checking the brake fluid lines for internal corrosion and ensuring the tyres are not rotton is vital, as these components often fail due to age rather than mileage.
