2016 Aprilia Tuono 1.1L Petrol · VF11 APR

The vehicle maintains a technically roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 24 July 2024 at 3,853 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of mechanical integrity, as the record shows no recurring defects or structural advisories across multiple years. The presence of failures immediately preceding passes suggests the bike may have suffered from minor presentation issues or items rectified prior to the retest rather than a systemic failure of mechanical components. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 385 miles per year. A significant gap exists between the July 2022 test at 1,613 miles and the July 2023 test at 3,679 miles, where the bike covered over 2,000 miles in a single year, followed by only 170 miles in the following year. This pattern of intermittent use suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, which often presents specific risks related to the degradation of rubber components and fluids not captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by prolonged storage rather than mechanical wear. Check the tyres for dry cracking and flat spotting, as the low mileage does not guarantee sufficient rubber life for safety. Inspect the brake lines for internal perish and the calipers for seized pistons, as moisture accumulation can occur when stationary. Given the age and low usage, verify the condition of the fuel system and ensure the suspension fork seals have not degraded despite the lack of piston movement.
