2017 Piaggio Vespa GTS 125 Super ABS 0.1L Petrol · FH17 FZZ

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 23 October 2024 at 23,559 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, indicating a well-maintained machine that has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is low for a nine year old scooter, averaging roughly 2,618 miles per year. The distance covered between the September 2021 test at 13,238 miles and the October 2024 test at 23,559 miles shows steady, moderate use. A minor anomaly occurred in September 2022, where the vehicle failed on 22 September at 17,128 miles and passed two days later at 17,146 miles. The record does not specify the failure reason, but the immediate rectification suggests a responsive owner. Despite the clean MOT record, the low annual mileage and periods of standing can lead to specific issues not always captured in a brief inspection. A buyer should check for perished rubber components, such as tyre sidewall cracking or degraded brake hoses. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs or pads is positive, but the actual thickness of the consumables should be verified given the vehicle's age. Attention should be paid to the drivetrain and fluid condition. While the DVSA records show no structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures, a physical check for surface rust on the chassis and the condition of the transmission oil is advised. The lack of recurring faults suggests a disciplined maintenance regime, but the transition from low-use storage to active riding requires a thorough check of the battery health and tyre pressures.
