Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
When inspecting this Vespa, focus on verifying the service history, specifically looking for regular oil changes and valve clearances which are critical for the longevity of 125cc engines. As this is a white vehicle, check the body panels closely for stone chips or scratches that may have been touched up.
Negotiate based on the age of the consumables; check the date codes on the tyres and the thickness of the brake pads. While the MOT history is clean, these items wear down and may require replacement soon regardless of a 'pass' result.
The 125cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, offering low fuel consumption for urban commuting. Tax and insurance for this engine size are typically affordable, though insurance groups can vary based on the rider's profile and location.
Typical maintenance costs for a Vespa include periodic belt and roller replacements and annual servicing. Given the engine size and fuel type, the estimated annual running cost is relatively low compared to larger motorcycles.
While the MOT history from 2022 to 2024 shows no recorded defects, you should still physically inspect the chassis and underbody for any signs of corrosion, which can occur on older scooters. Check the battery voltage and start-up speed to ensure the electrical system is healthy.
Pay close attention to the suspension and tyre pressure. Ensure the lights and indicators are operating correctly, and verify that the brakes feel firm and responsive, as MOT tests only confirm they meet a minimum legal standard rather than optimal performance.
This 2016 white Piaggio Vespa 125cc presents a stable history with three consecutive MOT passes recorded between 2022 and 2024. With a current mileage of 16,114 miles and no defects noted in the most recent tests, the vehicle appears to have been used moderately over its ten-year lifespan.
Aggregate data for the Piaggio Vespa is unavailable, but this specific vehicle has a clean recent MOT record.
