The most common problems on the Lambretta GP200 are headlamp at least one does not illuminate on dipped beam (129 recorded failures), roller brake test the less effective brake control does not achieve an efficiency of 25%. (127), and stop lamp does not illuminate immediately a brake applies (117). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection.

A typical Lambretta GP200 owner drives around 283 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.

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.
