2019 Aprilia Tuono 1.1L Petrol · YV19 WRP

A five-test MOT history spanning 2022 to 2026 shows a clean pass record for this 2019 Aprilia Tuono, with no failures ever recorded against it and only a single advisory issued across the entire timeline. The latest test on 4 August 2026 returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing the consistent roadworthy trajectory set by the previous four examinations. The sole advisory of note appeared at the April 2026 test, when the front brake pads were flagged as approaching their minimum legal limit, though the motorcycle still passed and no further action was mandated. With no advisories issued on suspension components, lighting, tyres, structural items, or any other inspected area, the DVSA record reflects a vehicle that has remained within legal roadworthiness thresholds at every test since first presentation. The recorded mileage of 10,074 miles over approximately seven years equates to an annual average of around 1,439 miles, which is low even for a motorcycle and is more typical of occasional weekend or fair-weather use rather than regular commuting or touring duty. There are no multi-year gaps in the MOT testing history itself, with examinations taking place in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2026 (twice), meaning the vehicle has been presented for test consistently and presumably kept on the road throughout. Mechanically, low annual mileage reduces wear on high-contact components such as chain and sprockets, brake discs, and tyre tread, but it does increase the risk associated with prolonged standing periods. Corrosion on fasteners, brake caliper binding from infrequent use, and degradation of internal rubber components such as fork seals, brake hoses, and suspension bushes can all advance without the regular thermal cycling and movement that higher-mileage use provides. Given the front brake pad advisory recorded in April 2026, a prospective buyer should physically inspect pad material thickness on both the inner and outer pads of the front caliper and measure the front brake disc using a micrometer to confirm it remains above the manufacturer's minimum thickness, as discs worn in tandem with pad replacement may now be at or near their discard figure. On a test ride, the front brake should be checked for any pulling to one side under firm application, any sponginess in the lever that might indicate caliper seal leakage, and a grinding or metallic noise that would confirm pads have finally reached the backing plate. The brake lever should also be pumped several times after standing to ensure the caliper pistons retract cleanly without binding, which is a common issue on low-mileage motorcycles where corrosion can seize pistons in their bores. Beyond the brake system, attention should be directed at the suspension and chassis items that could degrade during extended periods of light use. Front fork seals should be examined for any oil residue on the stanchions, and the forks should compress and rebound smoothly without a harsh top-out clunk. The steering head bearings should be checked for notchiness by lifting the front end and rotating the handlebars lock to lock with the weight off the wheel. The chain and sprockets, despite low mileage, may have developed surface corrosion from standing and should be inspected for tight spots, stiff links, and hooked sprocket teeth. Finally, given that the motorcycle is approaching eight years of age, verify the age and condition of the tyres by checking the DOT date code on the sidewalls, as rubber compound degradation from age rather than wear is a relevant consideration on a low-mileage machine of this vintage.
