UK

The 2001 Gilera Ice 50 is a poor performer at MOT, with just a 13% first-time pass rate—dramatically below the UK average of 80%—suggesting these machines are either neglected or mechanically troublesome by this age. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare at 0.5%, so safety isn't the primary concern.

At nearly 10,000 miles on the clock, these scooters show modest mileage for their age, yet still stumble through testing; the low failure rate of 0.15 per vehicle and minimal advisories indicate that when problems do occur, they tend to be minor niggles rather than major breakdowns. If you're considering one, budget for pre-purchase inspection by a scooter specialist, as the MOT figures suggest these 50cc machines need hands-on evaluation rather than blind faith in age or mileage alone.

MOT statistics not available

We have 182 2001 Gilera Ice 50 vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
