2002 Aprilia RS 50 0.1L Petrol · RV52 XYG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 25 January 2025 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory after a single failure on 08 December 2023. The fact that the motorcycle passed just over two weeks after that failure indicates that the specific issue identified by the tester was rectified immediately, rather than representing a chronic or worsening mechanical decline. At a recorded mileage of 21,181 miles over a 24-year span, the Aprilia has averaged approximately 883 miles per year. This low annual usage suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly, which often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. The gap between the December 2023 test and the January 2025 test shows a period of over thirteen months between inspections, which is consistent with the low overall mileage profile. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the frame for corrosion as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from oxidation while stationary. While the recent MOT shows no defects, the age of the machine makes suspension bushes, brake lines, and fork seals critical areas to check for cracking or perished. Because the failure in late 2023 is not detailed in the provided record, the buyer should verify exactly what component required repair to ensure it was not a recurring structural or safety fault.
