2016 Piaggio Vespa 0.1L Petrol · LB65 SVV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 21 May 2026 at 7 850 miles with no defects recorded, confirming a stable roadworthiness status. The preceding test on 22 May 2025 flagged rear brake pads close to the minimum limit (1.1.13 (a)) and a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit (5.2.3 (e)), but no other issues were noted. The pattern shows only minor consumable wear without progression to failure, indicating consistent basic upkeep. At ten years old the Vespa has accumulated just 7 850 miles, averaging roughly 785 miles per year. The mileage record reflects a low‑usage profile, with modest increases of 379 miles between 2019 and 2020, a larger jump of 2 435 miles between 2020 and 2021, and gradual rises of 265 miles over the last year. The spike in 2021 suggests a brief period of heavier use, yet the overall trend remains low and stable. A buyer should inspect the rear brake system closely, verifying pad thickness beyond the 1.1.13 (a) threshold and checking for binding calipers or uneven disc wear. The rear tyre tread depth must be confirmed against the 5.2.3 (e) limit, and the tyre should be examined for uneven wear or damage. Suspension bushes and coil springs need assessment for cracking or hardening, while the chassis and frame should be inspected for corrosion or rust, especially given the age. Finally, a thorough check of exhaust emissions, brake fluid levels, and coolant condition will reveal any hidden wear.
