2021 Piaggio Liberty 125 ABS 0.1L Petrol · LG71 ABN

The 12 December 2024 MOT at 50,099 miles resulted in a failure, confirming the 2021 Piaggio Liberty 125 ABS is presently not roadworthy. The repeated deficiencies in rear suspension components, brake discs, and fluid levels indicate a maintenance trend that is worsening rather than stable. The recorded mileage of 50,099 miles over an approximate five‑year period equates to about 10,020 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. No earlier MOT entries are documented, leaving a gap of roughly two years between the last known test and the 2024 failure, but the annual mileage increase appears steady without any abrupt spikes. A buyer should first examine the rear suspension pin and bushes for excessive wear, as the 2024 test flagged them as the primary defect, and verify that the rear registration plate lamp and position lamp illuminate correctly. Inspection of the front brake disc for thickness and the brake fluid reservoir for visibility is essential, given the recorded wear and missing fluid. Further checks must include the functionality of all lamps – the front stop lamp that remains illuminated when the brakes are released, the rear position lamp, and the front tyre tread depth, which approached the legal limit. The absence of the rear wheel spindle locking device and the slightly loose rider’s seat also merit close scrutiny, as they point to potential structural and safety concerns.
