Aprilia Sr50 (2011)
2011 Aprilia Sr50
CarHunch analysed 179 real MOT records for the 2011 Aprilia Sr50. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2011 Aprilia SR50 passes its MOT slightly below the UK average at 78.3%, and one in four of these scooters have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is a genuine concern for safety-conscious buyers. Petrol-only, so there's no fuel-type variation to consider here.
These scooters typically show modest mileage for their age at just over 9,000 miles on average, yet they still rack up nearly 1.33 failures and 3.9 advisories per test, suggesting maintenance issues creep in fairly quickly. Before buying one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the specific defects that triggered those dangerous markings—electrics, brakes, and suspension are common culprits on aging small bikes.
What to check before buying a 2011 Aprilia Sr50
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.
