Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2020 Aprilia Tuono?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

Moderate sample. 362 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

The 2020 Aprilia Tuono is a strong performer, with a 94.4% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%, and only 3.6% of vehicles ever recording a dangerous defect—well below concern level. Owners are looking after these bikes: the median mileage of just 5,945 miles for a four-year-old machine suggests light, careful use, which partly explains the excellent pass rate.

The low failure rate of 0.21 per vehicle indicates few serious problems emerging, though the 1.0 advisories per bike points to minor wear items that need watching. When you're evaluating one, focus on service history and condition of consumables like brake pads and tyres—these will tell you more than the MOT alone.

The 2020 Aprilia Tuono passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (94.4% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
