2015 Piaggio Vespa 0.1L Petrol · AO65 KME

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean current inspection record. The most recent MOT conducted on 26 August 2025 at 4,218 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met all regulatory standards. Despite a single failure in August 2024, the owner rectified the issues within twenty-four hours, suggesting the owner is proactive in addressing immediate mechanical faults. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old scooter, averaging approximately 383 miles per year. Between the April 2022 test at 2,724 miles and the August 2025 test at 4,218 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,494 miles over three years. This usage pattern suggests the Vespa likely sat for long periods, which contrasts with typical wear on the drivetrain and brake components. While the lack of mileage preserves consumables like tyres and pads, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components that are not captured by mileage alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on risks associated with prolonged storage rather than mechanical wear. Inspect all rubberwork for dry cracking, specifically fuel lines, brake hoses, and suspension fork seals, which become brittle over time regardless of distance. Check for flat spots on the tyres and seized brake calipers, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from components seizing. Additionally, verify the battery health and inspect the frame for surface corrosion, ensuring the low-mileage status has not masked underlying structural failure despite the subsequent pass.
