2009 Piaggio Porter 1.3L Petrol · EU09 FTK

The 2009 Piaggio Porter’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-01 at 81,504 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, a prior failure on 2025-08-29 at 81,400 miles—just two weeks earlier—suggests potential unresolved issues. The lack of defect details in both tests complicates assessment, but the proximity of the failure to the pass implies possible temporary fixes or minor faults. No significant trends in recurring defects are evident from the record, though the vehicle’s maintenance history appears inconsistent, with gaps and repeated passes/ failures at similar mileages. The vehicle’s mileage of 81,504 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 4,794 miles annually, a low figure that may indicate infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. Notably, the 2023-09-07 and 2023-09-21 tests both recorded 69,879 miles, suggesting a possible data entry error or the vehicle being stationary during that period. A gap of over a year between the 2024-09-16 pass (76,191 miles) and the 2023-09-21 test further raises questions about compliance and usage patterns. This sparse, irregular data limits confidence in the vehicle’s consistent maintenance. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the chassis for corrosion, particularly in a 17-year-old vehicle with low mileage, as stagnant periods can accelerate rust. The suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, warrants scrutiny due to potential underuse leading to stiffness or wear. Brake components, exhaust emissions, and electrical systems should also be tested, as the MOT history lacks detailed defect reports. Tyre tread and wiper blade condition, which are not mentioned in the record, require physical verification to confirm they meet legal standards.
