If you own or are considering buying a 1969 Lambretta Gp150, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to motorcycle tyres: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating. With relatively low average mileage of 10,808 miles, many of these vehicles are still in good mechanical condition.
