I am considering buying a 2007 Vespa Piaggio GTS 250 esthetically in like new conditions, clean title, and with only 1000 miles on it.

When I ran the VIM number the only record listed was when the first and only owner bought it and moved it to a different location.. . there are no accident or service records, not even for routine maintenance. It was basically used for 1100 miles and then stored for 4 yrs.
Usually a clean history is a good sign, but I wonder if the lack of routine maintenance may have actually damaged the new engine. I will be meeting the owner tomorrow and was hoping this Forum could suggest a list of questions or concerns I should clarify with the owner before putting any money down for the scooter. Any suggestions?
