Motorcycle steering and suspension — 2.0% of failures
Motorcycle steering and suspension issues account for 2.0% of MOT failures on 2000 Aprilia Rs50 models. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers.
