2018 Aprilia RX 125 0.1L Petrol · YS68 HNP

A pattern of minor non-mechanical failures defines the recent inspection history for this Aprilia RX 125, with the most recent test on 22 June 2026 resulting in a pass after a failure regarding registration plate dimensions. The record shows a trend of passing without any mechanical defects or structural advisories being flagged since the first recorded test in 2024. While the 2025 failure was related to an inoperative registration plate lamp, the absence of any recorded issues with braking systems, tyres, lighting, or emissions suggests a consistent level of roadworthiness regarding the primary mechanical components. The vehicle exhibits an unusually low usage profile for its age, having covered only 4,417 miles over approximately eight years. This equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 552 miles, which is significantly lower than typical usage for this type of motorcycle. Mechanically, such low mileage means there is minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and braking surfaces, but it also implies the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary. This usage pattern necessitates a close inspection of rubber components and seals that can perish or harden when not regularly cycled through their operating temperature ranges. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that are susceptible to degradation during periods of inactivity rather than wear from high mileage. Given the low annual mileage, check for any signs of perished or cracked rubber hoses, perished fork seals, and the condition of the tyres, specifically looking for flat spots or sidewall cracking. On a test drive, pay close attention to the smoothness of the throttle response and the engagement of the clutch, as these can become sticky or slip if the vehicle has been standing for long intervals. Listen closely for any unusual noises from the engine or transmission that might indicate internal components have been affected by long periods of stasis. Check the brake lever feel for any sponginess and ensure the calipers are not binding, as stagnant brake fluid can sometimes lead to reduced performance. While the MOT record is free of mechanical defects, the low-mileage context means the integrity of seals and the fluidity of moving parts should be the primary focus during a physical evaluation.
