2015 Piaggio Typhoon 125 0.1L Petrol · FN65 OMB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the final available MOT data point. The most recent recorded test conducted in December 2021 at 48,672 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating the scooter met all minimum safety standards at that time. However, with over four and a half years elapsed since that last certification, the vehicle is currently out of test and requires an immediate inspection to establish current roadworthiness. The mileage pattern is consistently low for an eleven-year-old machine, averaging approximately 4,425 miles per year. The record shows a gap of 9,650 miles between January 2019 and September 2020, followed by another 3,877 miles covered between September 2020 and December 2021. This low usage suggests the scooter was used sparingly, though long periods of standing can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid acidity, which are not always captured in a standard MOT test. A physical inspection should focus on the front fork assembly where pitting was noted during the September 2020 test at 44,795 miles. While no oil leak was present then, pitting on the fork legs can eventually compromise the seals, leading to immediate hydraulic failure. The buyer should also verify the headlamp alignment, as the vehicle failed this metric in January 2019, and check for any corrosion on the frame. Given the low mileage and age, checking the condition of the tyres, perished hoses, and brake fluid is essential, as these components often age more from time than from mechanical wear.
