Aprilia Rs125 (2006)
2006 Aprilia Rs125
CarHunch analysed 488 real MOT records for the 2006 Aprilia Rs125. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2006 Aprilia RS125 struggles at MOT compared to the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of 74.1% against the national 80%, and nearly a quarter of these bikes (24.8%) have recorded dangerous defects during their test history—a genuine safety concern for prospective buyers. This is a bike that demands careful pre-purchase inspection and attentive maintenance.
The median mileage of just 10,796 miles suggests many of these machines have been garage queens or ridden sparingly, yet they still average 2.14 failures per test, pointing to age-related wear and neglect rather than hard use. Before committing to one, get a pre-purchase inspection from someone who knows small sports bikes well, and budget for frame, exhaust, and brake work.
What to check before buying a 2006 Aprilia Rs125
