Our Verdict
This Aprilia RS125 presents a relatively
When inspecting this specific 2000 model, your primary focus should be the front suspension. The 2022 MOT advisory noted a light misting of oil on the offside front shock absorber; you must verify if this was repaired or if the seal has since failed. Check the forks for any signs of weeping or residue around the seals.
Given the low mileage of 6,622 miles, you should also inspect rubber components such as tyres, brake lines, and fuel hoses. Even if they have plenty of tread or life left, rubber can perish and crack due to age. Ensure the fuel system has been maintained to prevent issues common in older, low-use motorcycles.
As a 125cc petrol machine, running costs are generally low. Fuel economy for the RS125 is typically efficient, making it an economical choice for commuting or learning. Tax and insurance groups for this engine size are usually among the lowest available, which is ideal for newer riders.
Maintenance costs will depend on whether the low mileage has been offset by regular servicing. While parts for Aprilias are widely available, specialist components can be more expensive than those for Japanese competitors. Expect an annual running cost in the lower end of the motorcycle spectrum.
Directly address the 2022 MOT advisory by inspecting the front forks. Look for any oily film on the stanchions or leaks around the seals on both the offside and nearside forks. If the misting has progressed to a leak, the shock absorber will likely require a rebuild or replacement.
Additionally, check the overall condition of the black paintwork and plastics for UV damage or fading, which is common on 26-year-old motorcycles. Inspect the chain and sprockets; even with low mileage, a chain can develop 'kinks' or rust if the bike has been stored in damp conditions.
Registered in June 2000, this black Aprilia RS125 has covered 6,622 miles, which is significantly low for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history is sparse, with the most recent recorded test in July 2022 showing a pass despite an advisory for a light oil mist on the offside front shock absorber. While the low mileage is an attractive factor, the age of the vehicle means certain components may require attention due to time rather than use.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Aprilia RS125 to provide a statistical comparison.
