The most common problems on the Aprilia Sl 750 Shiver are tyre tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm (39 recorded failures), roller brake test indicates a binding brake (30), and stop lamp does not illuminate immediately a brake applies (23). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection. Many are wear-and-tear items that can be budgeted for, but a car that's already failing on multiple fronts may signal neglected maintenance.
On the safety side, the most frequently flagged dangerous fault is tyre tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm. Dangerous faults cause an immediate MOT failure and mean the vehicle is not roadworthy until repaired. If you're viewing a Aprilia Sl 750 Shiver with an expired or recently passed MOT, ask the seller whether any dangerous faults were found and fixed during the last test.
A typical Aprilia Sl 750 Shiver owner drives around 812 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres.

If you're buying one that's already approaching that window, the data suggests it has plenty of life left provided it's been maintained.
Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
