AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2003 Aprilia has 6 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 6,762 miles. The recurring suspension failure and unverified mileage make this a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low usage, averaging 1,819 miles/year, with a significant 3-year gap (Sep 2008-May 2012) where no MOT mileage was recorded, and a suspiciously high jump in usage before Sep 2008.
Things to check
- MOT history shows a 3-year gap (Sep 2008–May 2012) with no recorded mileage, indicating unverified usage.
- Mileage is extremely low at 18,902 miles over 23 years, well below UK average, suggesting long periods of inactivity.
- First MOT test on 2007-03-21 failed on headlamps and rear suspension bush, indicating immediate safety concerns.
- The 2009, 2010, 2011 years have no recorded MOT tests, suggesting periods of SORN or off-road use.
Working in its favour
- The single major failure on 2007-03-21 was immediately rectified and passed on 2007-03-22.
- No recurring major failures are present in the MOT history after the initial 2007-03-21 failure.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT certificate from 2013-05-13, despite the significant history gaps.
- No dangerous defects are present in the MOT history, indicating no immediate road safety hazards.
