Got a specific Piaggio New Skipper you're checking out?
The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
This 1999 Piaggio New Skipper is a serious reliability gamble: only 8.3% pass MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, and a quarter-century of age means most examples have been through multiple owners and heavy use. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare at 1.7%, but these aren't cars you'd rely on without regular professional attention.
The median mileage of 5,815 miles is misleadingly low—it reflects vehicles that have barely run in decades rather than genuine low-mileage finds, and the average of 8,207 miles suggests many have been idle for years. With an average of 0.1 failures and 0.3 advisories per MOT, expect consistent wear items and systems that need coaxing back to life if you're considering one. If you're seriously interested, have a pre-purchase inspection by someone who knows Piaggio scooters, and budget for recommissioning work before trusting it on the road.
We have 178 1999 Piaggio New Skipper vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.
There are a few reasons this can happen:
- Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
- Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
- MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
- Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
