Piaggio Typhoon 50 (2011)
2011 Piaggio Typhoon 50
CarHunch analysed 119 real MOT records for the 2011 Piaggio Typhoon 50. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2011 Piaggio Typhoon 50 falls just below the UK average pass rate at 77.4% versus 80%, suggesting slightly above-average wear for its age, though the 16.8% dangerous defect rate isn't alarming enough to rule it out as a buyer concern. Median mileage sits at just over 10,600 miles, which is reasonable for a 13-year-old scooter, indicating most examples haven't been thrashed. The average vehicle carries 1.06 failures and 4.3 advisories per test, pointing to minor maintenance issues creeping in rather than catastrophic problems—typical for older small-capacity bikes. Before committing to any used example, have an independent inspection focus on brake wear and steering geometry, as these account for the most common failures across this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2011 Piaggio Typhoon 50
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.
