AI verdict AVOID 30/100

AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2001 Gilera has 8 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 1,396 miles. The extremely low usage and unverified history make this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 6,905 miles over 25 years, with a 4-year MOT gap (Jun 2012–Jun 2017) and suspiciously low annual usage (e.g., 15 mi/yr before Jun 2017).

Things to check

  • Extremely low total mileage: 6,905 miles over 25 years (Jan 2001 to Jun 2017).
  • Significant 4-year MOT gap: No test recorded between Jun 2012 and Jun 2017.
  • Unexplained mileage spikes: Very high usage before May 2009 (2,062 mi/yr equivalent), then extremely low (15 mi/yr equivalent).
  • Unverified odometer integrity: Mileage significantly below cohort averages (6,905 mi vs. 95,117 mi for similar GILERAs).

Working in its favour

  • No dangerous defects recorded in MOT history.
  • Single major failure (tyres, May 2009) was immediately rectified.
  • MOT passed 7 times out of 8 tests, showing general roadworthiness.
  • No recurring major system failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) identified.
