2013 LEXMOTO GLADIATOR 1250.1L Petrol

The vehicle has a stable MOT history with no recorded defects across five consecutive tests. The most recent pass on 19 May 2022 indicates the bike was roadworthy at that time, though the lack of any entries between May 2022 and July 2026 means the current MOT status is expired. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failure or worsening deterioration in the official record. The mileage pattern is highly unusual. The odometer remained static at 12,012 miles from 17 September 2020 through to 19 May 2022. This lack of movement, combined with an overall average of only 924 miles per year, suggests the motorcycle has spent significant periods standing. The jump from 11,398 miles in September 2017 to 12,012 miles in September 2018 shows a modest usage period followed by years of near-total inactivity. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of components prone to degradation during long-term storage. The static mileage suggests a high risk of perished tyres, seized brake calipers, and degraded fuel in the tank or carburettor. Check for corrosion on the chain and sprockets, as lack of movement and lubrication often leads to surface rust and link seizure. Verify the health of the battery and the integrity of the fork seals, which can leak when a bike sits unused for years. While the MOT history is clean, the four-year gap since the last recorded test means the current mechanical state is unknown. A full service is necessary to ensure the engine and braking systems are functional after such a prolonged period of dormancy.
