2002 Gilera DNA 125 0.1L Petrol · ILZ 9261

The 2002 Gilera DNA 125 presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture. The most recent test on 2 October 2023 at 20,916 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the earlier pass on 28 September 2021 at 19,941 miles also showed a clean sheet. The single failure on 20 September 2022 at 20,543 miles was logged with no defects cited, which suggests an administrative or non-mechanical cause rather than a fault-driven refusal. Mileage accumulation across the record is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old machine. The scooter covered only 602 miles between September 2021 and September 2022, then just 373 miles to the October 2023 test, averaging roughly 872 miles per year overall. Such low use implies long standing periods, though the three tests span only two years of data, leaving the earlier two decades sparsely documented. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person for issues that MOT tests on two-wheelers may not deeply probe. Prolonged storage commonly degrades suspension bushes, fork seals, and brake calipers through inactivity rather than wear. The tester logged no advisories on corrosion or exhaust emissions, but standing moisture can quietly attack structural frame points and wheel bearings. Given the clean recent record and minimal mileage, previous keepers appear to have stored the scooter rather than neglected active maintenance. Verify the 2022 failure reason with DVSA, confirm brake disc condition, and check for tyre perishing from age rather than tread loss before purchase.
