2021 Piaggio Liberty 125 S Abs
CarHunch analysed 123 real MOT records for the 2021 Piaggio Liberty 125 S Abs. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 Piaggio Liberty 125 S ABS has a first-time MOT pass rate of 70.7%, which sits notably below the UK average of 80%—a red flag that suggests these scooters encounter more teething problems than typical in their first test. Only 8.1% have recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuring and keeps this within acceptable safety bounds for the category.
These scooters are running low mileage for their age, with a median of just 8,218 miles, indicating they're lightly used machines that haven't yet been stressed by heavy commuting. The average of 0.19 failures per vehicle is modest, but 0.6 advisories per vehicle hints at minor wear creeping in faster than expected—so if you're buying one, have a pre-purchase inspection done and budget for small fixes like brake pads or suspension adjustment within the first year.
What to check before buying a 2021 Piaggio Liberty 125 S Abs
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.
