Use Magic Device

From Dandwiki " You get a special +2 bonus on your Use Magic Device check if you’ve activated the item in question at least once before."

I grasp that if you buy a Wand of Missiles and use it (whether you succeed or not) you get a +2 on every use check afterwards.
However...
What if you buy a new Wand of Missiles because your old one ran out of charges? Do you still have to "break it in" on the first try to get the +2 or will you keep the bonus? I ask because scrolls are not reusable, and I want to know if new ones still satisfy the requirement for the +2.

to be more precise:
The scroll has been used or the wand has been used up. You now have a new item so no +2.

Also note that you need to have sucessfully activated the item before
