2013 Piaggio FLY 0.1L Petrol · HW13 AEO

The Piaggio Fly has maintained a clean MOT record since March 2023, with only two isolated failures—both in early 2024—neither of which listed any defects. The most recent test in March 2025 at 25,087 miles passed without issues, suggesting the vehicle’s core mechanical systems, including brakes, suspension, and emissions, have remained stable. The absence of advisories or recurring faults indicates no signs of neglect, though the two back-to-back failures in 2024 (one just 12 days apart) may imply a temporary oversight in pre-test checks rather than underlying problems. Overall, the trend is stable, with no evidence of worsening conditions. The vehicle’s mileage of 25,087 over 13 years—averaging just 1,930 miles annually—is exceptionally low for its age, raising questions about usage patterns. The lack of significant mileage accumulation between tests (e.g., only 442 miles between the March 2023 and March 2024 passes) suggests either infrequent use, storage periods, or potential odometer discrepancies. Without further context, it’s impossible to confirm whether this reflects genuine low mileage or other factors, but it does mean wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components will likely be minimal. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should still verify the physical condition of key areas in person. While the records show no defects, the scooter’s age and low mileage could mask hidden corrosion in the frame or exhaust, particularly in exposed sections. Check for binding in the brakes—though not flagged, low mileage can sometimes lead to seized calipers if fluids were neglected. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for dryness or cracking, as these may not have been stressed enough to fail an MOT but could still be deteriorating. Finally, confirm the battery health, as infrequent use can accelerate internal corrosion even if the scooter starts reliably.
