2021 Aprilia RS 660

CarHunch analysed 264 real MOT records for the 2021 Aprilia RS 660. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2021 Aprilia RS 660 passes its MOT first time in 76.3% of cases, slightly below the UK average of 80%, suggesting marginally more teething issues than typical for this age. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare—only 1.9% of bikes have ever recorded one—so safety concerns aren't a red flag here.

These bikes are running relatively low mileage for their age, averaging 5,281 miles, which helps explain the light failure rate of 0.11 per vehicle; most advisories (0.4 per bike) are minor notes rather than serious problems. If you're considering one, verify the service history carefully and budget for a pre-purchase inspection to catch any niggles before you buy, since first-time pass rates suggest these aren't entirely bulletproof machines yet.

What to check before buying a 2021 Aprilia RS 660

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.
