Piaggio Vespa GTS 300 Super (2011)
2011 Piaggio Vespa GTS 300 Super
CarHunch analysed 388 real MOT records for the 2011 Piaggio Vespa GTS 300 Super. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2011 Vespa GTS 300 Super has a first-time MOT pass rate of 75.6%, which falls about 4.4 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—a modest reliability shortfall rather than a red flag. Roughly one in seven of these scooters (13.4%) have encountered a dangerous defect at some point, which is worth factoring into your pre-purchase inspection checklist.
At a median mileage of 13,329 miles for a 13-year-old scooter, these machines are running light and low, suggesting they've been weekend or leisure riders rather than commuters. The average of 0.59 failures and 1.8 advisories per MOT points to minor maintenance niggles rather than structural problems—the kind of wear-and-tear you'd expect from an older scooter. Before you buy, ask the seller for the full MOT history and pay particular attention to what's been advised year-on-year; consistency in small issues beats surprise failures.
What to check before buying a 2011 Piaggio Vespa GTS 300 Super
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
