2015 Piaggio Vespa 0.1L Petrol · FN65 OMC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of annual passes. The most recent test on September 1, 2025 at 8,883 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating the scooter remains in a good mechanical condition. While a minor exhaust noise issue was noted in August 2024, the subsequent clean pass year later suggests this was either addressed or represented a transient mechanical symptom. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 808 miles per year. Between August 2021 and September 2025, the vehicle covered only 1,255 miles, confirming a very low usage rate. This suggests the scooter has likely been used sporadically or stored for long periods. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based parts, flat-spotting tyres, and fluid stagnation due to lack of movement. A buyer should physically inspect the exhaust system specifically to ensure the noise flagged in 2024 is not indicative of developing corrosion or a failing manifold leak. Given the low mileage and likelihood of long periods of standing, a thorough check of the tyres for flat spots or perished sidewalls is essential. Additionally, inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface rust or seizing, as stationary vehicles often suffer from seized pistons or corroded lines that do not always manifest during a standard MOT test.
