2015 Piaggio Vespa 0.1L Petrol · LC64 ACU

The 2015 Piaggio Vespa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 June 2025 at 7,341 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this follows four consecutive annual tests with clean outcomes. The single failure on 23 May 2024 at 7,074 miles carries no listed defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage. Recorded mileage sits at 7,341 miles against an eleven-year lifespan, averaging roughly 667 miles per year. The scooter saw 325 miles added between the June 2022 test at 6,599 miles and the June 2023 test at 6,924 miles, then 150 miles to the May 2024 test at 7,074 miles, and a further 267 miles to the June 2025 test. Such low, consistent accumulation points to light use with likely extended standing periods, though the DVSA data shows no gaps exceeding thirteen months between tests. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the suspension bushes, front fork linkage, and brake calipers, as low-mileage machines left idle often develop seized linkages and corroded brake components absent from MOT advisories. The exhaust emissions and structural frame welds warrant visual checks for corrosion, particularly around the floor pan and lower fairings where road salt accumulates. The absence of recorded advisories across all tests suggests previous owners addressed consumables before each examination, yet the 2024 duplicate entry hints at lax documentation discipline. Given the scooter's standing history, verify tyre sidewall cracking and battery condition before purchase.
