Insight summary

Aprilia Rsv is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 2,459 represented vehicles and 0.01% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 89.6% from 15,946 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 73. The current pool shows an average of 17,126 miles and an average age of 18.2 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 18,072 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by other, and the most frequent defect themes are reflector missing, braking components and registration plate does not conform to the specified requirements. The practical read is that the Aprilia Rsv looks convincing in this view, especially where normal wear items have been kept on top of.
