2013 Piaggio Vespa 0.1L Petrol · LC13 FRZ

The Vespa holds a current MOT pass dated 21 January 2025 at 37 770 mi, with no recorded defects, confirming roadworthiness. The preceding 2021 tests showed persistent structural corrosion (6.1.1 (c)(i)) and lighting faults, but those issues were rectified before the 2025 test, reflecting an improving maintenance trend despite the underlying corrosion remaining. Mileage progression indicates very low utilisation for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 2 900 mi per year over the nine‑year span from 10 713 mi in July 2016 to 37 770 mi in January 2025. The interval between the March 2021 test (33 299 mi) and the 2025 test spans nearly four years, creating a data gap that limits insight into recent wear. The bulk of mileage was added between 2018 and 2019, after which the odometer moved only 4 471 mi in the remaining six years. A prospective buyer should inspect the motorcycle’s frame for corrosion, confirming that rigidity is not compromised, and examine the front outer brake disc for pitting or scoring noted in 2019. The front brake pads should be checked for wear, as they were recorded low in 2016, and the apron’s fit verified. Lighting circuits require scrutiny: test the front position lamp, both stop lamps, and the rear reflector, ensuring the stop lamp does not remain on when the brakes are released. Finally, verify the registration plate mounting and L‑plate positioning to rule out the obstruction recorded in 2016.
