2012 Piaggio Beverly 300 0.3L Petrol · WM62 VBV

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy profile with a maintenance trend that has stabilized in recent years. The most recent test in February 2025 at 14,999 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, following a successful pass in February 2024 after a minor failure for a non-functional dipped beam headlamp. While the history shows intermittent minor hardware failures, the current status suggests the owner is now addressing immediate compliance issues prior to testing. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old scooter, averaging only approximately 1,071 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between January 2016 and December 2020, where the vehicle covered only 5,286 miles over four years. More recently, the bike covered just 2,652 miles between February 2024 and February 2025. This low usage suggests the engine may have sat for long periods, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and stagnation of fluids despite the low mechanical run hours. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of components that showed recurring issues or wear. The record shows persistent problems with brake levers, specifically noted as bent, short or damaged across 2016, 2018, and 2020, indicating potential physical impact or wear on the control assembly. The slight free play in the rear suspension bush noted in 2016 should be re-checked to ensure the wear has not progressed into significant failure. Given the low mileage, verify the age of the tyres and check for surface corrosion on the brake discs, as these parts often perish through time rather than mileage on low-use vehicles.
