2013 Piaggio Vespa 0.1L Petrol · LF13 FFR

The 2013 Piaggio Vespa is presently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 5 August 2025 at 44,586 miles. The tester only flagged the front brake pads as being close to the minimum limit, an advisory rather than a defect. Since the sole failure recorded in June 2022 for rear‑tyre tread, the vehicle has cleared every subsequent test, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Mileage accumulates at roughly 3,400 miles per year, well below the average for a thirteen‑year‑old scooter. The log shows 28,807 miles in June 2022, rising to 32,128 miles by June 2023 (a 3,321‑mile increase), then to 35,019 miles in May 2024 (2,891 miles), and finally to 44,586 miles in August 2025 (9,567 miles). The last jump, while larger, still reflects modest use and no unexplained gaps in the record. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front brake pads, ensuring they are not beyond the advisory limit. Tyre tread must be inspected on both front and rear wheels; the history of tyre wear suggests that rear‑tyre replacement was performed after the 2022 failure, but uneven wear could reveal suspension or alignment issues. Examination of suspension bushes, coil springs, and rear brake components will confirm that no latent faults have developed. Finally, a visual check for frame corrosion, especially around the exhaust and mounting points, will round out the assessment.
