Moderate sample. 401 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.
The 2015 Piaggio Fly passes its MOT first time at 83.5%, slightly above the UK average of 80%, which is a decent indicator of reliability—though the 33.4% of vehicles that have recorded dangerous defects is a genuine concern for a scooter where safety margins are tighter than in cars. This suggests electrical or braking issues aren't uncommon, so a pre-purchase inspection by someone who knows Piaggios is essential.
With a median mileage of just under 14,000 miles for a nine-year-old scooter, these are lightly used machines, which partly explains the reasonable pass rate; the average 1.01 failures and 2.8 advisories per test indicate wear is moderate but steady. Before buying, have the brakes, lights, and steering thoroughly checked, since those are the failure patterns likely driving that high dangerous-defect figure.
The 2015 Piaggio Fly has a decent first-time pass rate (83.5%), but a higher-than-average share of vehicles have had serious defects recorded — the individual vehicle's history matters a lot here.
These stats describe 401 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.

Brake pipes, sills and subframes are the key areas on a vehicle this age — structural rust is hard to spot without getting underneath. A mechanic will check all of this before you commit, and give you a concrete basis to negotiate on price.
