The most common problems on the Gas Gas Pampera 250 are stop lamp does not illuminate immediately a brake applies (25 recorded failures), wheel bearings have excessive free play (16), and position lamp does not illuminate immediately when it is switched on (13).

A typical Gas Gas Pampera 250 owner drives around 300 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
