If you own or are considering buying a 2020 Aprilia Sx, budget for potential repairs before each MOT.

Replace any blown bulbs before the test. With relatively low average mileage of 7,255 miles, many of these vehicles are still in good mechanical condition.

Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
