Our Verdict
A charming, low-mileage classic that is generally well-maintained, but requires a close physical inspection of the steering and chassis. Proceed with caution regarding the recent structural advisories.
Focus your attention on the steering assembly. The vehicle recently failed an MOT due to the steering operation fouling on the fuel tank/bodywork on full lock, and it still carries an advisory for a deformed handlebar. You should negotiate the price based on whether these issues were professionally rectified or simply 'passed' by a technician, as a deformed handlebar suggests a previous impact.
Request a full service history to ensure the engine has been maintained despite the low mileage. Check for signs of corrosion on the chassis, which is common for scooters of this era, and verify that the recent headlamp aim correction was performed properly.
The 124cc engine is highly economical, making it an ideal choice for urban commuting with low fuel consumption and affordable road tax. Insurance for a Vespa is typically reasonable, though this depends on the rider's age and location.
Maintenance costs are generally moderate, but genuine Vespa parts can be pricier than generic alternatives. Given the age of the vehicle, expect annual costs for consumables like tyres and brake pads, which have appeared as recurring advisories in the MOT history.
Crucially, inspect the handlebars and steering lock. The MOT history specifically notes a 'deformed' handlebar and a previous failure where steering fouled on the bodywork; check for any bends in the metal or rubbing marks on the fuel tank. Ensure the steering feels smooth and does not 'catch' when turned to full lock.
Check the tyres and brake pads, as these were flagged in 2015 and 2016. While the mileage is low, the rubber may have perished due to age rather than wear. Finally, verify the wheel alignment, as the most recent MOT passed with an advisory stating it is slightly misaligned.
This 2007 Cream Vespa LXV 125 has seen very little use, with the odometer showing only 19,175 KM as of February 2026. While it has a long history of passing MOTs, the most recent tests reveal some concerning structural issues. It represents a stylish city commuter, provided the recent steering and handlebar issues are fully understood.
Specific aggregate data is unavailable for this model, but the vehicle's own history shows a general trend of passing MOTs with only minor wear-and-tear issues.
