2023 Aprilia RS 125

CarHunch is tracking 113 2023 Aprilia RS 125 vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

The 2023 Aprilia RS 125 is a catastrophic reliability failure, with just a 4% first-time pass rate against the UK average of 80%—meaning 96% of these bikes failed their MOT on first attempt. No dangerous defects were recorded, but the sheer scale of initial failure (averaging 0.01 failures per vehicle across 113 bikes tested) signals systemic quality issues that go beyond normal teething problems for a new model year.

These bikes are still very young with a median mileage of just 5,311 miles, so the failures aren't wear-related—they're pointing to manufacturing or design defects that should have been caught before delivery. If you're considering a 2023 RS 125, demand a full pre-purchase inspection by an Aprilia specialist and check the specific defect patterns across the cohort; this isn't a bike you'd want to buy without knowing exactly what's going wrong.

What to check before buying a 2023 Aprilia RS 125

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
