2006 Piaggio PX 125 (vespa) 0.1L Petrol · CU06 EJX

The 2006 Piaggio PX 125 demonstrates a highly stable mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 3 June 2025 at 18,639 miles. The record shows zero defects across the last four consecutive annual tests, indicating a scrupulously maintained machine. The single anomaly occurred on 7 June 2022 at 11,221 miles, where the scooter failed despite no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or emissions-related issue that was swiftly rectified before the retest on 14 June 2022. The recorded mileage of 18,639 miles over roughly twenty years equates to an average of just 932 miles per year, confirming exceptionally light usage. The interval between the June 2022 and May 2024 tests shows a modest accumulation of 3,259 miles over two years, while the subsequent twelve months to June 2025 saw a sharper increase of 4,042 miles. This recent uptick in annual mileage suggests the scooter has transitioned from prolonged periods of standing to more regular use, which generally benefits the longevity of consumables and prevents the perishing associated with long-term storage. Despite the flawless MOT record, a low-mileage two-wheeler of this age requires a focused physical inspection. The single-cylinder engine and steel monocoque frame are susceptible to corrosion if the scooter has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer must scrutinize the floorpan, lower frame legs, and suspension mounting points for structural rust. The front and rear brake systems demand particular attention; light use often leads to binding calipers and pitted brake discs rather than wear. Tyres and rubber suspension bushes may exhibit age-related cracking and perishing despite retaining legal tread depth.
