Piaggio Fly 125 (2006)
2006 Piaggio Fly 125
CarHunch analysed 131 real MOT records for the 2006 Piaggio Fly 125. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2006 Piaggio FLY 125 is a decidedly unreliable choice, with a first-time MOT pass rate of just 52.5%—nearly 28 percentage points below the UK average of 80%. While dangerous defects aren't rampant at 12.2%, the core issue is that more than half these scooters fail their test, signalling systemic maintenance problems rather than isolated issues.
At 16,624 miles average, these machines have seen moderate use for their age, yet they're still averaging 1.18 failures and 2.6 advisories per test. If you're considering buying one, budget seriously for repairs and have a pre-purchase inspection done by someone familiar with Piagios—the pass rate suggests preventative work is non-negotiable, not optional.
What to check before buying a 2006 Piaggio Fly 125
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
