What Piaggio Mp3 300 Sport failures look like

1,020 Piaggio Mp3 300 Sport tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect.

A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.
