2012 Piaggio Vespa 0.1L Petrol · SN62 BYY

The 2026‑06‑19 MOT at 26,263 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming the Vespa is presently roadworthy and the maintenance record shows a stable trend, as all subsequent tests from 2025 onward also passed without any listed failures. Mileage has risen from 15,865 miles in the 2015 test to 26,263 miles in 2026, an increase of roughly 10,400 miles over 11 years, averaging about 950 miles per year, which is low for a 14‑year‑old vehicle and suggests limited use or extended periods of inactivity; the yearly increments are consistent with no major gaps in the log. Recurring issues include central rear brake binding noted in the 2023 test, central front brake binding and a non‑tested front wheel bearing in 2023, exhaust leaks documented in 2021 and 2022, a non‑conforming registration plate in 2023, and earlier records flagging front steering notchy movement and rear brake disc scoring. A buyer should therefore inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify brake disc and caliper condition and test wheel bearings for smooth rotation, examine the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion, check the chassis for structural rust, confirm steering movement is free of notching, and ensure the registration plate meets specifications, while noting that the most recent MOT passed without defects.
