Piaggio Mp3 (2019)
2019 Piaggio Mp3
CarHunch analysed 150 real MOT records for the 2019 Piaggio Mp3. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Piaggio MP3 is a reliable performer with a 92.3% first-time MOT pass rate—well above the UK average of 80%—and only 10% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, suggesting these scooters are mechanically sound. Average failures run just 0.29 per vehicle, indicating most don't develop serious issues during their test life.
At a median of 8,087 miles, these machines are running light for their age, which partly explains the strong pass rate; however, the 1.3 average advisories per vehicle suggests minor wear items (likely suspension, brakes, or lighting) crop up regularly as they age. If you're considering a used MP3 from this year, prioritise a pre-purchase inspection focused on tyres, brakes, and lighting to catch small problems before they become test failures.
What to check before buying a 2019 Piaggio Mp3
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.
