Aprilia Rsv (2010)
2010 Aprilia Rsv
CarHunch analysed 197 real MOT records for the 2010 Aprilia Rsv. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2010 Aprilia RSV passes its MOT at 87.9%, comfortably above the UK average of 80%, signalling better-than-typical reliability for a nearly 15-year-old sportsbike. Dangerous defects show up in just over 1 in 10 examples (10.2%), which is reassuringly low and unlikely to be a major buyer concern.
These bikes are running at a modest 10,004 miles on average—well below what you'd expect for their age—suggesting many are weekend warriors rather than hard-worked commuters. With 4.7 advisories per bike flagging minor wear items and 1.18 failures per vehicle, expect typical age-related maintenance rather than structural gremlins; when you're shopping, prioritise a full service history and a pre-purchase inspection of the brakes and suspension, as sportsbikes take real punishment.
What to check before buying a 2010 Aprilia Rsv
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.
