2009 Piaggio Vespa GTS 300 Super 0.3L Petrol · FP09 PZZ

The 2009 Piaggio Vespa GTS 300 Super presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 May 2025 at 21,684 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in May 2024 and May 2023 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 27 May 2023 at 17,397 miles, where the record shows no defects listed; the owner cleared it three days later on 30 May 2023 at 17,466 miles with a pass, indicating the failure was likely administrative or a minor rectification rather than a serious mechanical fault. Mileage sits low for a 17 year old machine. The scooter covered just 21,684 miles to date, an average of roughly 1,276 miles per year. From the May 2023 test at 17,466 miles to May 2024 at 20,002 miles it added 2,536 miles, then 1,682 miles to May 2025. Such light use over a long span suggests extended standing periods, which on a Vespa of this age raises the risk of perished rubber, seized cables, and stale fuel rather than high wear on drivetrain parts. The clean MOT history gives no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion across the recorded entries. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person for hidden issues the annual test may not capture. Check the front fork seals for weepage, the rear shock for corrosion, and the brake calipers for binding after standing unused. Examine the exhaust and emissions hardware for internal rust, and confirm the tyres are not cracked from age despite low mileage. The absent defect record implies prior owners kept basic statutory compliance, though the 2023 failure with no listed fault warrants a glance at the physical test certificate to confirm the reason before purchase.
