2015 Piaggio Vespa 0.3L Petrol · DS 5785

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, reflecting a consistently clean pass record over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 March 2025 at 7,719 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This stable trend suggests that the scooter has been well-maintained and has not suffered from the mechanical degradation or structural failures typically seen in older-age models. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 702 miles per year. Between March 2021 and March 2025, the vehicle covered only 2,149 miles, indicating very light use. The gap between the June 2023 test and March 2024 test shows only 147 miles travelled, suggesting the vehicle sits for extended periods. While this low mileage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and brake components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation rather than wear and tear. Because the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a buyer must physically inspect for issues associated with low-use storage. Check the rubber components for cracking or perish, specifically the tyres which may degrade over time regardless of tread depth, and the fork seals. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, as long periods of standing can lead to oxidation. Additionally, examine the chassis and underbody for any signs of rust, as the MOT does not always detect surface-level corrosion until it compromises structural integrity.
