2016 Piaggio Vespa 0.1L Petrol · AP16 OPS

The 2016 Piaggio Vespa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 July 2025 at 23,979 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage sits remarkably low for a ten-year-old machine. The record shows 22,802 miles in July 2021, rising only to 23,979 by July 2025, a total gain of 1,177 miles across four tests or roughly 295 miles per year. Such limited use implies the scooter spent extended periods idle, yet the owner still submitted it for every test on schedule. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the data, and the DVSA entries carry zero advisories throughout. A buyer should still inspect components prone to deterioration under long standing rather than wear. Flat spots on tyres, hardened suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers commonly develop on low-mileage machines left unused. The absence of recorded corrosion or exhaust emissions failures is encouraging, but stationary storage invites hidden rust on the frame and pitting on brake discs. Given the clean history, the Vespa requires no flagged rectification. A physical check of battery condition, fluid contamination, and freedom of the steering head bearings remains sensible before purchase.
