On the safety side, the most frequently flagged dangerous fault is tyre tread not clearly visible. Dangerous faults cause an immediate MOT failure and mean the vehicle is not roadworthy until repaired. If you're viewing a Aprilia Sxr 50 with an expired or recently passed MOT, ask the seller whether any dangerous faults were found and fixed during the last test.
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.
