2004 Piaggio PX 125 (vespa) 0.1L Petrol · PA04 AXD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean recent history. The most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 23,644 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2015, suggesting that the scooter has been well-maintained or undergoes sufficient care to meet regulatory standards during its annual inspections. The mileage profile indicates very light usage for a 2004 model, averaging approximately 1,075 miles per year. The record shows a steady, albeit slow, progression of mileage over the last decade. Between the September 2021 test at 19,823 miles and the September 2022 test at 22,101 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 2,200 miles, which is a slight increase compared to earlier years. However, the most recent interval between October 2023 and June 2025 shows very minimal movement, with only 88 miles recorded. This pattern of low usage often implies the vehicle spends significant time stationary, which can lead to specific maintenance requirements. While the recent years show no mechanical issues, the historical data from 2007 and 2011 highlights specific areas of concern. The 2011 test flagged a worn rear tyre, front brake pads nearing the minimum limit, and a deteriorated exhaust mounting. The tester also noted lower brake efficiency on the rear roller brake test. Although these issues appear to have been addressed given the subsequent clean records, a buyer should physically inspect the exhaust mounting for corrosion and ensure the braking system operates smoothly without binding or reduced efficiency. Given the long periods of inactivity suggested by the mileage, a physical inspection should prioritise checking for seized components. Focus on the fuel system, battery health, and tyre condition, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to rubber degradation and fuel stagnation. Checking the integrity of the suspension and ensuring the exhaust system is securely fastened will mitigate risks identified in the earlier maintenance history.
