2009 Aprilia Tuono 1.0L Petrol · YN09 FOC

The 2009 Aprilia Tuono remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT on 21 September 2024 at 11,017 miles passing with no defects recorded. Earlier tests on 21 January 2023 at 10,604 miles, 29 December 2021 at 9,833 miles, 23 October 2020 at 8,863 miles and 24 May 2019 at 7,290 miles all returned passes with zero advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening or recurring mechanical faults across the five-year record. Recorded mileages confirm exceptionally low use for a 17-year-old machine. The odometer climbed just 3,727 miles between May 2019 and September 2024, an average of roughly 700 miles per year. Test intervals stretched beyond twelve months on three occasions, notably the twenty-month gap before the 2024 examination. Clean results despite these gaps imply previous keepers stored the bike for long periods and met basic legal obligations without high-frequency riding. A buyer should still commission a hands-on check of components the MOT does not deeply probe. Fork seals may weep from age despite no tester flag. Suspension linkage bearings and swingarm pivots could harbour corrosion after standing idle. Front and rear brake calipers might bind through inactivity, while discs could show pitting. Chain tension and sprocket wear need physical verification. Structural integrity looks sound given the absence of corrosion advisories, but frame joints and exhaust mounts warrant visual scrutiny for surface rust. Low mileage suggests engine fluids, brake fluid and coolant are likely overdue regardless of pass results. The documentary history supports a low-risk purchase provided a competent mechanic validates these latent items before completion.
