Piaggio Px 125 (2001)
2001 Piaggio Px 125
CarHunch analysed 182 real MOT records for the 2001 Piaggio Px 125. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2001 Piaggio PX 125 passes its MOT slightly above the UK average at 84.9%, which is a solid result, though nearly one in five have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—something to factor in if you're buying used. The median mileage of just over 10,000 miles is unusually low for a 23-year-old scooter, suggesting many examples have been lightly used or stored, which typically bodes well for condition.
When these bikes do fail, they average 1.77 failures per test, and advisories are common at 3.6 per vehicle, pointing to gradual wear on older components rather than structural problems. Get a pre-purchase inspection focused on brakes, lights, and suspension components, and expect to budget for routine maintenance—but the above-average pass rate suggests this is a solid, if aging, platform.
What to check before buying a 2001 Piaggio Px 125
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.
