2009 Piaggio APE Calessino 0.4L Diesel · SN09 CZF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record of passes over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in June 2024 at 2,254 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met the required standards. This suggests a period of consistent maintenance or careful storage following the minor issues noted in 2021. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 133 miles per year. Between May 2020 at 882 miles and June 2024 at 2,254 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,372 miles. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it also introduces risks associated with long periods of standing. The recorded advisory in 2021 at 1,084 miles regarding both nearside and offside rear tyres worn to the legal limit suggests that tyres may have been neglected despite minimal use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to degradation from age rather than mileage. Check for rubber rot on the tyres, brake hoses, and suspension bushes, as these materials often fail when stationary. Inspect the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers, and examine the chassis for structural rust, as low mileage does not prevent oxidation. Given the infrequent use, verify that the fluids are not degraded and that the engine operates at correct temperature without leaks.
