2008 Piaggio MP3 0.1L Petrol · YX08 AFE

The 2008 Piaggio MP3 passed its most recent MOT on 6 March 2025 at 74,437 miles, yet the record shows recurring steering headbearing stiffness 2.2.2 f i and worn ball joint 2.1.3 b i, indicating a stable but deteriorating mechanical condition rather than improvement. The repeated advisories on suspension arm pins and exhaust leaks further suggest that previous owners have not fully addressed underlying wear. The vehicle’s mileage rose from 55,582 miles in March 2021 to 74,437 miles in March 2025, an increase of 18,855 miles over four years, or roughly 4,714 miles per year, reflecting consistent use despite the low annual average for a 18‑year‑old machine; there are no large gaps in the MOT timeline, confirming regular operation. A buyer should therefore inspect the steering headbearing and ball joint for play or binding, examine the suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive wear, verify brake pad thickness, disc condition and parking brake function, and check the exhaust system for leaks, corrosion and structural integrity, as these items have repeatedly appeared on the record.
