    Not only gts. All steel chassis as well.
    I regret buying a 2020 primavera.
    Watching some videos about rust issues.
    I found rust spots as well underneath and in the battery compartment.
    Piaggio never do things correctly anymore

    I got given a 2000 Vespa ET2 I’m currently restoring it and honestly it’s not bad at all for 24 years old the floor pan was very rusty but not rotten suprisingly I saved it! All ground back protected and stone chip painted ontop ready for its base coat next week they definitely don’t make them like that anymore. I see loads of Vespas that are like 6+ years old rotten already crazy!

    Very instructive video. I think this should be playing nonstop on every reputable workshop at the "horror corner" to educate customers.

    Best case scenario: get another similar scooter and keep this turd for parts. Having said that, I wouldn't use anything from this but the alternative is give it a sea burial.

    At least with the 2T vietbodges of olden days, they made an effort to make it a shiny polished terd. This one? Not so much.

    No way that rust and bodge weren't apparent at the MOT last July. I would advise the guy to report the MOT station. That did not go from perfect to that in 10 months.

    that scooter could be fixed up if not for the high price of itaiian scoot parts, a gy6 exhaust , 50 quid, and chinese scoots dont use a monocoque frame, who buys these things from new, the last buyer probably lost the least money

      whoever sold this I bet was about 17 wearing a tracksuit and had a man bag around his shoulder. I used to repair motorcycles and my grandson bought a pit bike off some chav, he brought it round to me and said the back tyre was flat, I took the tyre off and inside was a pair of jeans!
