2009 Piaggio Vespa 0.2L Petrol · FJ09 XHS

The 2009 Piaggio Vespa presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its two most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 27 June 2022 at 14,128 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, matching the earlier pass on 1 July 2021 at 8,544 miles. The vehicle shows no worsening faults and no outstanding mechanical concerns in the official record. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a seventeen-year-old machine. Between July 2021 and June 2022 the scooter covered just 5,584 miles, averaging roughly 831 miles per year across its lifetime. A four-year gap separates the 2022 test from the current date of 8 July 2026, leaving the present condition unverified by MOT data. The sparse history shows only clean passes with no consumable wear or structural issues flagged at either examination. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection before purchase. Low mileage combined with the long test gap suggests the Vespa may have stood unused for extended periods, raising the risk of perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and degraded suspension bushes not captured by the last test. Check the brake discs for corrosion, confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits, and inspect the frame and bodywork for structural rust. Given the absent advisories, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The clean record offers reassurance, but the 2022 pass is now dated and cannot confirm current fitness. A fresh mechanical check of tyres, wiper function if fitted, and drivetrain condition is warranted given the standing time.
