Our Verdict
A viable option for a city commuter, tho
Focus your attention on the braking system. The June 2024 MOT failure specifically cited front brake binding and pads that were close to their minimum limit; you should verify that new pads were fitted rather than just adjusted.
Check the electrical system carefully. The history shows a headlamp beam issue in 2024 and a damaged rear position lamp with non-functioning LEDs in 2022. Ensure the lighting is now fully operational and correctly aligned to avoid immediate future failures.
Running costs for a 49cc petrol scooter are typically very low. Fuel consumption is minimal, and the vehicle falls into a low insurance group and tax bracket, making it an economical choice for short urban trips.
Annual maintenance will likely involve regular oil changes and tyre replacements. Given the age and mileage, expect occasional costs for wear-and-tear items like brake pads and bulbs. The estimated annual running cost is relatively low compared to full-sized motorcycles.
Inspect the front brake assembly for any signs of binding or uneven wear, as this was a primary cause of the 2024 MOT failure. Test the brake lever feel to ensure the system is operating smoothly.
Check the headlamp to ensure the dip and main beams are not reversed and that the beam aim is correct. Additionally, examine the rear position lamp to confirm the LED issues noted in the 2022 MOT have been resolved.
This white 2007 Piaggio Vespa 49cc has a recorded mileage of 28,298 miles as of June 2024. The MOT history shows a recent failure in June 2024 involving the braking system and headlamp alignment, followed by a pass the next day. A 2022 test recorded an advisory regarding a damaged rear position lamp.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this model, but this specific vehicle has maintained a testing record since 2022.
