2002 Aprilia 1.0L Petrol · YR52 YRG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a consistent history of clean passes across all recorded tests. The most recent inspection on 17 May 2025 at 16,365 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets all regulatory standards. This trend of flawless results suggests the vehicle has avoided significant mechanical failures or structural degradation over the last five years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old machine, averaging approximately 682 miles per year. Between the 2020 test at 14,641 miles and the June 2024 test at 16,253 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,612 miles, highlighting infrequent use or long storage periods. While this low mileage limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the significant gaps in mileage between tests mean the vehicle may be subject to age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluids rather than mileage-based wear. A buyer must look beyond the clean MOT record to address the risks associated with low-mileage long-term storage. Physical inspection should focus on perished tyre sidewalls, perished brake lines, and degraded seals regardless of the tread depth. Because the tester does not check for fluid freshness or internal corrosion, the buyer should verify the condition of the fuel system and check for surface rust on forkanchions. Additionally, the brake discs should be inspected for pitting, as stationary vehicles often develop surface corrosion that affects braking performance despite low mileage numbers.
