2008 Piaggio MP3 400 0.4L Petrol · RK08 BHA

The vehicle is currently in a stable roadworthy condition. It passed its most recent MOT on 16 May 2025 at 8,760 miles with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to June 2021, indicating a vehicle that has remained compliant with UK safety standards without any flagged mechanical failures or recurring faults. The mileage is exceptionally low for an 18 year old machine. Between June 2021 and May 2025, the odometer moved from 8,742 miles to 8,760 miles. This represents a total of only 18 miles covered over nearly four years. Such minimal usage suggests the vehicle has spent the vast majority of its recent life in long term storage rather than in active service. While the MOT record is clean, the lack of use presents specific mechanical risks. A buyer must check for perished rubber components, including tyre sidewall cracking and degraded suspension bushes, as these deteriorate with age regardless of mileage. The braking system requires a thorough inspection for binding calipers or internal corrosion on the discs, which often occurs when a vehicle stands idle for extended periods. The fuel system and battery should also be scrutinised. Long periods of inactivity can lead to fuel varnish in the tank or injectors and premature battery failure. Given the stagnant mileage, the primary concern is not wear and tear but the degradation of fluids and seals caused by dormancy.
