2013 Piaggio Typhoon 125 0.1L Petrol · LO13 AFK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status based on its last inspection, though the maintenance trend appears incomplete. The most recent test conducted on 28 March 2022 at 17,187 miles identified a defect regarding slight free play in the steering headbearing. While the vehicle passed this test, the presence of mechanical play in the steering assembly indicates a component requiring attention to prevent further degradation of handling precision. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old scooter, averaging approximately 1,322 miles per year. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been used sporadically or remained stationary for extended periods. However, there is a significant gap between the last recorded MOT in March 2022 and the current date of August 2026. This four-year lapse in official testing leaves the current state of rubber components, fluid lines, and the structural integrity of the frame unverified. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the steering column to determine if the previously noted play has worsened or if the bearings require replacement. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for corrosion-related issues on brake discs and seized calipers, which often affect vehicles that sit for long durations. The structural integrity of the swingarm and frame should be examined for surface rust, as the low mileage has not protected the metal from environmental exposure over thirteen decade.
