2011 Aprilia RX50 0.0L Petrol · SV60 CEF

The 2026‑05‑22 MOT at 6,783 miles resulted in a failure, chiefly due to headlamp aim exceeding the permitted height and tyre tread worn close to the legal limit, meaning the vehicle is presently not roadworthy until these defects are corrected; the maintenance record shows no clear improvement, with recurring suspension and brake advisories persisting across multiple tests. Mileage over the vehicle’s 15‑year life averages 452 miles per year, yet the data reveal uneven usage: after a low‑mileage start at 12 miles in 2018 the odometer jumped to 1,804 miles by 2019, then to 2,112 miles in 2020, and finally to 6,783 miles by 2026, indicating periods of intensified use followed by relative inactivity. A buyer should therefore focus on the repeatedly flagged items: rear lower shock absorber bush wear and rear wheel bearing play noted since 2023, persistent rear brake binding observed in 2016 and 2017, front shock misting and handle‑bar bending from the 2016 test, and the ongoing tyre condition that has approached the limit in the latest inspection. Additional inspection points include the exhaust system for leaks referenced in 2016 and 2018, wheel alignment and spindle setting anomalies that have recurred, and any signs of structural corrosion or damage that could affect the chassis, as the history shows multiple advisories on suspension components and wheel bearings that may indicate underlying wear.
