Our Verdict
A highly desirable low-mileage example for a collector or enthusiast, but proceed with caution regarding mechanical maintenance. While the mileage is exceptionally low, the long intervals between MOT tests suggest it may have been stored for extended periods.
Given the very low mileage of 5,913 miles, your primary focus should be on 'age-related' maintenance rather than wear-and-tear. Check that rubber components such as tyres, fuel lines, and fork seals have not perished or cracked due to lack of use. Even though the 2023 MOT noted a nail in the tyre, you should inspect the age of the rubber to ensure they are safe for road use.
Because this is a two-stroke machine, ask for evidence of recent carburettor cleaning and jetting checks. Long periods of sitting can lead to fuel varnish in the system. Additionally, verify the service history for oil changes; even with low mileage, oil should be changed annually to prevent moisture buildup and degradation.
As a 249cc two-stroke motorcycle, running costs will be higher than a standard commuter bike. You must factor in the cost of two-stroke oil to be mixed with petrol, and fuel economy will be lower than a four-stroke equivalent.
Insurance groups for classic Aprilias can vary significantly based on rider age and experience, so get a quote beforehand. Maintenance costs are generally moderate for parts, but specialist knowledge is often required for tuning and maintaining high-performance two-stroke engines. Estimated annual running costs are relatively low if used sparingly, but higher if used frequently.
Start by inspecting the exhaust system; a 2011 MOT advisory noted the exhaust was noisy, so ensure any repairs made since then have addressed this and that there are no leaks at the manifold.
Check the electrical system and battery health, as low-use vehicles often suffer from flat batteries or corroded terminals. Finally, inspect the chassis and swingarm area for any signs of corrosion or neglected cleaning, and ensure the brakes are responsive, as brake fluid can absorb moisture over long periods of inactivity.
This 1999 Aprilia RS250 in black is a remarkably low-mileage specimen, having covered only 5,913 miles in its 26-year life. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, though the significant gaps in testing history (such as between 2018 and 2023) indicate this is likely a seasonal or collector's item rather than a daily rider. The vehicle presents as a well-preserved classic, provided the mechanical components have been maintained despite the low usage.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Aprilia RS250, so individual vehicle inspection is paramount.
