2015 Piaggio Vespa 0.3L Petrol · LS65 HXW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent MOT test conducted on 31 December 2025 at 1,582 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a trend of sustained compliance across all recorded tests, suggesting the scooter has been maintained without significant mechanical or structural failures during the inspection intervals. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 144 miles per year. Between the May 2020 test at 1,254 miles and the December 2025 test at 1,582 miles, the vehicle covered only 328 miles over five and a half years. This minimal usage indicates the scooter was likely used for seasonal trips or has spent long periods stationary rather than in daily commuting. While low mileage limits wear on the drivetrain components and brake pads, it introduces specific risks related to lack of use. A buyer must focus their inspection on risks associated with long-term storage rather than mechanical wear. Physical checks should prioritise tyres for flat spotting, cracking, and dry rot, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. The braking system should be tested for seized calipers or perished brake lines caused by lack of movement. Additionally, inspect the fuel system and underbody for signs of corrosion or fluid degradation from old oil, which can often occur when a vehicle sits in damp environments for extended periods.
