2007 Piaggio ET2 0.0L Petrol · DK07 AWH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent MOT test in April 2025 at 6,969 miles flagged a front tyre worn close to the legal limit, this represents a decline from the clean records seen in earlier years. The progression from zero defects to multiple mechanical and wear-related issues suggests that basic components are now only being addressed when they reach a point of failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old scooter, averaging approximately 367 miles per year. Significant gaps exist in usage, most notably the five-year period between 2016 and 2021 where the vehicle covered only 20 miles. This pattern of long-term storage often leads to degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear. The 2021 test confirmed this by noting sidew cracking on both tyres, which is a classic symptom of dry rot from standing for long periods rather than mileage-related tread depth. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and braking system to address the trends noted. The 2021 record identified a corroded exhaust and a binding front brake, indicating that moisture-related corrosion is affecting the metalwork and calipers. You should inspect the frame for deep-seated rust and verify that the brake calipers are free-moving and not seized. Given the low mileage and age, all rubber hoses, fuel lines, and suspension bushes should be checked for perishability and cracking, regardless of the low odometer reading.
