Our Verdict
This is a sensible option for a commuter scooter, provided the mechanical inspection is thorough. The recent MOT history shows no recorded defects, which is a positive indicator for its current roadworthiness.
When inspecting this 124cc Piaggio, focus on the service history to ensure regular oil changes and drive belt replacements have occurred, as these are vital for scooter longevity. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these are common wear items on small-wheeled scooters.
Because the MOT records for 2022 and 2023 show no recorded defects, you should still perform a physical check of the lights, indicators, and mirrors. Negotiate based on any visible wear to the silver bodywork or any upcoming maintenance requirements that may not have been captured in the MOT tests.
The Piaggio Fly 125 is designed for economy, featuring a small 124.0cc engine that offers high fuel efficiency for urban riding. Being a petrol model, fuel costs should remain relatively low depending on your annual mileage.
Insurance groups for 125cc scooters are typically low, making this an accessible option for newer riders. Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should budget for periodic parts replacement like tyres and transmission components. Total annual running costs are estimated to be modest.
Review the MOT history, which shows a failure in May 2023 that was immediately rectified to achieve a pass with no defects. While no specific defect types were recorded in the data, you should manually inspect the braking system and suspension for any signs of leaks or excessive play.
Check the electrical system thoroughly, including the starter motor and battery, as these are critical for a 2009 model. Ensure the silver fairings are secure and that there are no signs of structural damage that might have been missed in previous inspections.
This 2009 silver Piaggio Fly 125 has covered 18,195 miles since its first registration in November 2009. The MOT history is relatively sparse but shows a clean pass in May 2023 with no defects recorded. Given its age, the mileage appears to be well-managed for a small-capacity petrol scooter.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Piaggio Fly 125 to provide a statistical comparison.
