Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a class
When inspecting this 124cc scooter, focus on the mechanical integrity of the fuel system and the condition of the silver paintwork, which can show scratches from urban use. Since the MOT records show no defects in 2022 or 2023, you should verify if there is any documented service history to supplement these clean tests.
Check the tyre tread depth and the condition of the brake pads, as these are common wear items not always captured in a 'no defect' MOT result. Ensure the electrical components, such as indicators and headlights, are functioning correctly, and check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine area.
The 124cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it relatively inexpensive to run in an urban environment. Fuel economy for this model is typically high, though actual figures will depend on riding style and load.
Insurance groups for 125cc scooters are generally lower than cars, but you should obtain a specific quote for LJ08OGV. Maintenance costs for Vespas are moderate, though parts can sometimes carry a premium compared to generic scooters. Expect an estimated annual running cost to be manageable for most commuters.
While the MOT history for 2022 and 2023 recorded no defects, you should manually inspect the drive belt and rollers, as these are vital components of the CVT transmission that can wear over time.
Check the suspension for any signs of oil weeping and inspect the chassis for any corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been stored in damp conditions. Given the 2008 registration, ensure that all rubber components, such as hoses and seals, do not show signs of perishing due to age.
This 2008 Piaggio Vespa GTS 125 in silver has covered 21,269 miles since its first registration in May 2008. The MOT history for the last two years is notable for having no recorded defects or advisories. Given its age, the mileage appears to be relatively low for a nearly 18-year-old scooter.
There is no aggregate MOT data available to provide a specific reliability rating for the Piaggio Vespa GTS 125.
