Our Verdict
A viable option for a basic commuter, pr
Focus your negotiation on the two advisories noted in the April 2024 MOT. Specifically, check if the rear tyre has been replaced since it was recorded as being close to the legal limit, and investigate the cost of repairing the minor exhaust gas leak.
Given the vehicle's age (2008) and the very low mileage, you should inspect all rubber components, including brake hoses and tyres, for signs of perishing or age-related cracking, which can occur even if the vehicle has not been driven extensively.
Running costs for a 49cc scooter are among the lowest in the UK market. Fuel consumption is typically very high in terms of miles per gallon, and insurance for a 50cc vehicle is generally in the lowest brackets.
Maintenance is typically minimal due to the simplicity of the engine, though basic servicing and the resolution of the current exhaust leak will be the immediate costs. Total annual running costs are expected to be very low.
Prioritise the exhaust system to locate the leak mentioned in the 2024-04-04 MOT record (6.1.2 (a)). Check the tread depth of the rear tyre, as it was flagged as worn close to the legal limit (5.2.3 (e)) during the same test.
Perform a general check of the braking system and lights. While the MOT history shows passes, the age of the vehicle means you should ensure all controls operate smoothly and there is no significant corrosion on the frame or engine casings.
This red 2008 Piaggio Zip is a 49cc petrol scooter with very low recorded usage, showing 5,286 miles at its last MOT in April 2024. The vehicle has passed its two most recent MOT tests, although the latest result included advisories regarding the exhaust and tyres. It represents a simple, low-capacity entry into urban transport.
