Moderate sample. 491 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.
The 2013 Piaggio Fly passes its MOT at 83.8%, which is a solid 3.8 percentage points above the UK average, suggesting decent baseline reliability—but the 23.2% of vehicles that have recorded at least one dangerous defect is a real concern and worth investigating on any used example you're considering. This is a scooter that tends to develop issues: the average vehicle accumulates 1.04 failures and 3.0 advisories across its MOT history, which is fairly typical for the age and mileage bracket.
At 14,176 miles median, these machines are lightly used for their age, which partly explains the respectable pass rate and relatively low failure count. Before buying, request the full MOT history and have a trusted mechanic inspect the brakes, lights, and suspension—the advisory count suggests wear items need attention—and be especially cautious if the history shows any dangerous defects flagged previously.
The 2013 Piaggio Fly passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (83.8%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
These stats describe 491 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
