PIAGGIO ET21999 · 0.0L PETROL

The most recent MOT for this 1999 Piaggio ET2 was recorded on 2014-07-11, over 12 years ago. At that time, the vehicle had 7,107 miles and passed with a single minor defect: a light misting on the rear shock absorber (2.4.A.1c). No other issues were noted. This suggests the vehicle was in acceptable condition at that point, but the long gap since the last test raises concerns about its current state. A 2013 MOT entry (5,677 miles) recorded a "front motorcycle structure slightly damaged" (6.1.1a), which is a significant safety-related defect. This indicates structural integrity issues that could affect handling or stability. No other defects were noted in earlier MOTs from 2012, 2010, and 2008, which all passed with no recorded issues. The 2013 defect appears isolated, but its severity warrants close inspection. The vehicle’s mileage of 7,107 miles over 27 years equates to roughly 263 miles per year, far below average for a motorcycle of this age. This low mileage suggests either very light use or prolonged periods of inactivity.
