Piaggio Vespa GTS 300 Super (2014)
2014 Piaggio Vespa GTS 300 Super
CarHunch analysed 131 real MOT records for the 2014 Piaggio Vespa GTS 300 Super. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2014 Vespa GTS 300 Super is a serious red flag: only 3.8% pass first time compared to the UK average of 80%, and the petrol version performs even worse at just 2.3% pass rate. No dangerous defects have been recorded across the 131 vehicles analysed, but the sheer scale of first-time failures suggests systematic issues with how these machines are presented for test.
The median mileage of 15,249 is reasonable for a nine-year-old scooter, yet zero recorded failures or advisories combined with the near-total first-time failure rate points to a documentation or test-presentation problem rather than mechanical unreliability. Before buying, verify the vendor's MOT history directly and ask specifically why previous tests failed—this pattern is unusual enough to warrant investigation rather than outright dismissal.
What to check before buying a 2014 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.
