2003 Gilera Runner 180 0.2L Petrol · LA52 WLG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and maintains a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 8 April 2026 at 58,089 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing first-time tests over the last five years, suggesting a well-maintained machine. The mileage is low for a 23-year-old scooter, averaging roughly 2,526 miles per year. Usage has remained steady and predictable. Between February 2022 and April 2023, the odometer rose by 1,467 miles. A more significant increase occurred between April 2023 and April 2024, where the vehicle covered 3,658 miles. The most recent interval from April 2025 to April 2026 saw 2,115 miles added, confirming the bike is in regular use rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus on the braking system and wheel bearings during a physical inspection. The April 2025 test at 56,774 miles flagged a worn front brake disc and slight play in the rear wheel bearing. While the April 2026 test shows no remaining advisories, it is necessary to verify if these components were replaced or if the wear has simply progressed slowly. Given the age of the Gilera Runner, a close inspection of the frame and swingarm for corrosion is advised. Although the MOT history is clean, the 2025 advisories indicate that consumables and bearings are reaching the end of their service life. Checking for smooth steering and the absence of vibration in the rear wheel will confirm the bearing issue was properly resolved.
