Our Verdict
A compelling low-mileage example of a 20
The most striking aspect of this vehicle is the lack of use; it covered only 42 miles between September 2021 and April 2025. You should investigate why the vehicle was stationary for such a long period and check for symptoms of inactivity, such as degraded fuel or a worn battery.
Verify that the lighting faults identified in the November 2024 test have been fully rectified and that the bulbs and wiring are in good order. Ensure you review any available service records to see if the oil was changed during its period of inactivity.
With a small 124cc petrol engine, fuel costs will be minimal. Tax and insurance for a scooter of this age and capacity are typically among the lowest available in the UK, making it an economical choice for urban commuting.
Annual maintenance should be kept low, provided the vehicle is used regularly to prevent the issues associated with long-term storage. Typical costs will involve annual servicing and occasional tyre replacements.
Focus on the electrical system, specifically the dipped beam and rear position lamps, which caused a failure in November 2024. Check the condition of the tyres, noting that the rear tyre was recorded as being close to the legal limit in September 2021; verify if this was replaced before the 2025 pass.
Inspect all rubber components, including hoses and tyres, for cracking or perishing, which is common in vehicles that spend long periods stationary. Check for any signs of corrosion on the chassis, particularly given the vehicle's age.
This white 124cc Vespa has recorded only 7,480 miles since its first registration in April 2002. The MOT history shows a pass in April 2025 with no defects, following a failure in November 2024 caused by headlamp and rear position lamp issues.
