2018 Piaggio Vespa 0.3L Petrol · NJ18 OFB

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 4 June 2026 at 1,480 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This consistency across five consecutive tests indicates that the scooter has met minimum safety and emission standards without any recurring mechanical or structural failures being flagged by the DVSA tester. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 185 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 942 miles and May 2025 at 1,473 miles, the scooter covered only 531 miles. A notable gap exists between the 2023 and 2024 tests, where only 171 miles were recorded. This data suggests the vehicle spends long periods stationary rather than undergoing frequent use, which limits wear on primary components like the engine and drivetrain. Despite the clean record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focused on issues associated with low-mile storage. The tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking and flat spotting, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. The braking system requires a close look for seized calipers or perished brake lines which often occur when a vehicle is not ridden regularly. Additionally, inspect the frame and suspension components for surface corrosion and ensure that the fluids have not absorbed moisture or degraded due to age.
