Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2013 Piaggio X10 350?

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2013 Piaggio X10 350?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

The 2013 Piaggio X10 350 passes its MOT first time at 83.1%, which is a solid 3.1 percentage points above the UK average, though the 21.4% dangerous defect rate is a genuine concern—over one in five of these scooters have had a serious safety issue flagged. That elevated dangerous defect rate suggests potential problems with braking or structural integrity that warrant a pre-purchase inspection.

At nearly 16,500 miles on average, these machines are running reasonably high mileage for their age, yet still managing better-than-average pass rates, which speaks to decent durability if maintained. The 0.89 failures per vehicle and 3.1 advisories per vehicle indicate minor wear is common, but nothing catastrophic—check the brake fluid condition and suspension health carefully before committing to any used example.
