2019 Lambretta V Special 125 0.1L Petrol · KV69 EXW

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in reactive repair habits. While it passed the most recent test in October 2025 at 16,428 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior where multiple safety items were identified. The transition from a pass in 2024 to a multi-point failure suggests that the owner only addresses defects when legally mandated, rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 16,428 miles over seven years, the scooter shows very low annual usage, averaging approximately 2,300 miles per year. However, the data shows a significant spike in usage between October 2024 (7,204 miles) and October 2025 (16,428 miles), representing over 9,000 miles covered in a single year. This burst of activity correlates with the rapid degradation of consumables, as evidenced by the simultaneous failure of both tyres and brake pads reaching their limits during the 2025 inspection period. A buyer must specifically inspect the steering headbearing, which has been a recurring issue since 2023 at 4,536 miles and was flagged for excessive wear in both 2024 and 2025. This persistence suggests the component was either not properly replaced or is suffering from structural stress within the assembly. Additionally, the 2025 failure noted a binding front brake and bent brake levers, which require a physical check of the caliper pistons and lever integrity to ensure no underlying damage or hydraulic leaks exist. Given the low mileage and age, also check for flat-spotted tyres or corrosion on exposed brake discs from periods of stationary storage.
