2018 Aprilia RS125 0.1L Petrol · YS18 OSG

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test in January 2026 at 12,593 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory compared to previous years, as defects identified in earlier tests have been addressed. While earlier records highlighted specific mechanical concerns, the current lack of recorded defects suggests the owner has responded to the necessary repair requirements flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,574 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the testing history between December 2022 and February 2024, during which the bike covered only 900 miles. More rapid accumulation of 5,767 miles occurred between February 2024 and January 2026. This low usage suggests the vehicle spends long periods stationary, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or fluid stagnation despite the low mechanical wear. A physical inspection should specifically target the exhaust system, as it was flagged for a noisy condition in both February 2024 and January 2025. Although it passed recently, the recurring nature indicates either worn mounting brackets or internal baffle damage that requires close monitoring. The buyer should also verify the offside front shock absorber, which was noted for oil misting in December 2022. It is vital to ensure the seal has not progressed to a full leak, which would compromise suspension performance. Finally, since the rear brake pads were near the minimum limit in early 2025, a current measurement of the remaining friction material is necessary to confirm they were replaced. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for surface corrosion on the brake discs and seized calipers, which are common issues on bikes that sit unused for extended periods.
