2015 Piaggio Xevo 0.1L Petrol · RJ15 AAK

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile following a period of recurring mechanical advisories. The most recent test on 10 June 2025 at 36,396 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This indicates that the issues identified during the previous year's inspection have been addressed. The trend shows an improvement from the 2024 test, where the tester flagged a worn central rear lower suspension ball joint, a stiff steering headbearing, and a minor exhaust gas leak. The mileage accumulation is low for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,309 miles per year. The data shows consistent, albeit infrequent, usage. Between the January 2021 test at 22,807 miles and the June 2022 test at 28,432 miles, the vehicle covered 5,625 miles. A similar pattern of steady, low-intensity use continues through to the 2025 record. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy long-distance commuting, though it may have experienced periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should focus on the steering and suspension components during a physical inspection. While the 2024 faults regarding the steering headbearing and the rear suspension ball joint were cleared in the 2025 test, these areas remain high-priority check points for any scooter of this age. The 2023 record also highlighted an oil leak from the engine and light misting from the offside front shock absorber. Although the most recent MOT shows no current leaks, a thorough visual inspection of the engine casing and the front fork seals is necessary to ensure these issues have not resurfaced. The history of front tyre wear being flagged in both 2022 and 2023 suggests a pattern of minimal attention to consumable maintenance. While the 2025 pass indicates the current tyres are legal, the buyer should check the remaining tread depth and age of the rubber. The recurring advisory for a minor exhaust leak between 2023 and 2024 implies the exhaust system has undergone some degradation, so checking the integrity of the manifold and exhaust connections is advised to confirm the recent repair was effective.
