2021 Lambretta V-125 Special E5 0.1L Petrol · SG71 BYB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on 20 May 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent instability marked by a mechanical failure just two weeks prior to that pass. While the most recent test at 1,262 miles recorded no defects, the failure on 8 May 2026 at 1,223 miles indicates that specific components required immediate attention to bring the scooter up to standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, with only 1,262 miles recorded. This averages to approximately 252 miles per year. While such low usage typically implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, it also raises concerns regarding long periods of standing, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. The gap of only 288 miles between the May 2025 test and the May 2026 test confirms the vehicle is used infrequently or for very short trips only. A buyer must physically inspect the front fork assembly to ensure the serious shock absorber fluid leak identified in May 2026 has been properly rectified with a new seal or unit. Recurring leaks can compromise steering stability and damage the lower fork legs if ignored. Additionally, the front brake system requires scrutiny for seized calipers or corrosion, as the tester flagged excessive binding during the same failure. Given the low mileage, these issues likely stem from surface corrosion or st caused by inactivity rather than mechanical wear.
