2009 Piaggio Vespa GTS 300 Super 0.3L Petrol · HW59 CJO

The vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent clean pass record over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 18,672 miles resulted in no recorded defects, mirroring the outcomes of the previous four annual tests. This sustained performance suggests that the scooter has been maintained to a standard that avoids the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,100 miles per year. Between September 2021 and November 2022, the vehicle covered only 27 miles, indicating a period of prolonged storage or minimal use. Since then, the usage has remained consistent, with roughly 1,000 miles recorded between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of fluid degradation and rubber perished perished due to sitting stationary. Given the lack of recorded faults in the MOT history, a buyer should focus on physical indicators related to long-term storage. A manual inspection must check for surface corrosion on the chassis and underbody, as low mileage does not prevent environmental rust. The buyer should also scrutinise the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spots, as age-related rubber failure often precedes tread wear on vintage vehicles. Additionally, the brake fluid and fuel system should be verified to ensure they have not absorbed moisture or degraded during the periods of inactivity.
