Our Verdict
Caution is advised – the scooter is low‑mileage and has a recent MOT pass, but recurring bearing and lighting issues suggest potential near‑term repairs.
Inspect the service history for any recent work on the front wheel bearings and brake system – these items have appeared in multiple MOT advisories (2020, 2021, 2023). A recent MOT pass (July 2026) indicates the scooter is currently road‑worthy, but ask the seller for receipts confirming bearing replacement or brake pad changes. Negotiate a price reduction to cover the likely cost of fixing the front wheel bearing play and any pending lighting repairs, as the 2022 MOT flagged three major lighting faults (headlamp, rear indicator, stop lamp).
The PX124’s 123 cc engine typically delivers around 70 mpg (imperial), placing its fuel cost at roughly £200 per year if driven 2,000 mi annually. Road tax for a 125 cc motorcycle falls into Band A, costing about £30 per year. Insurance groups for similar scooters are low (group 2‑3), with premiums around £180‑£220 annually for a 30‑year‑old rider. Routine maintenance – oil changes, valve checks and occasional belt replacement – usually runs £300‑£500 a year. Overall, expect an annual running cost in the region of £700‑£900.
During a pre‑purchase inspection, pay particular attention to the front wheel bearings – the MOT records note "front wheel bearing has slight play" in both 2020 and 2023, indicating a likely wear issue that can affect handling. Check the front steering head bearing for stiffness or notchy feel, as flagged in the 2020 advisory, and verify that the brake discs and pads are in good condition, given the 2021 PRS note about a contaminated front brake disc and the 2020 advisory about pads nearing minimum thickness. Finally, confirm that all lighting functions (headlamp dipped beam, rear indicator, stop lamp) operate correctly, since the 2022 MOT recorded three major lighting failures.
The 1999 Piaggio PX124 in blue has logged only about 28,000 miles, well below the typical mileage for a vehicle of its age. Its MOT record shows mostly passes, with a handful of failures centred on lighting, brake disc contamination and front wheel bearing play. While the low mileage is a strong point, the age and recurring minor faults mean buyers should budget for possible component replacement.
There is no aggregate reliability data for the Piaggio PX124, but this individual’s MOT history shows typical ageing scooter issues such as bearing wear and occasional lighting failures.
