This 2005 Gilera has 13 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 7,965 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the extremely low mileage for its age is a major red flag.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage, averaging 1,664 miles/year, with suspiciously low readings before Aug 2014 (0 mi/yr equivalent) and Aug 2015 (98 mi/yr equivalent), indicating potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • Mileage significantly below UK average: 19,710 mi total over 21 years (typical: 95,117 mi, n=1664 vehicles).
  • Suspiciously low mileage recorded before Aug 2014 (0 mi/yr equivalent) and Aug 2015 (98 mi/yr equivalent).
  • Recurring electrical failures: Front position lamp deteriorated (2009-09-10) and rear reflector missing (2010-09-04).
  • Very low annual usage: Average of 1,664 miles/yr suggests long periods of inactivity or potential issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2017-11-01, indicating it has been roadworthy for its age.
  • No recurring major mechanical failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) beyond the electrical issues.
  • Minor electrical failures were promptly addressed and retested successfully.
