Aprilia Rsv (2011)
2011 Aprilia Rsv
CarHunch analysed 175 real MOT records for the 2011 Aprilia Rsv. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2011 Aprilia RSV is more reliable than the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of 90.1% against the national benchmark of 80%, and only 8% of vehicles ever showing a dangerous defect—well below concern levels. These bikes are clearly well-maintained; at just over 9,000 miles on average, they're being ridden sensibly rather than thrashed, which explains the strong MOT performance.
When failures do occur, they're manageable rather than catastrophic—averaging 0.83 per vehicle across the entire cohort—but advisories (3.7 per bike) suggest routine wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and cables is normal for this age. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection to confirm chain condition, suspension health, and that any advisory items have been addressed, since these small jobs add up quickly on sports bikes.
What to check before buying a 2011 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.
