LEXMOTO GLADIATOR 1252013 · 0.1L Petrol

The vehicle is currently not in a verifiable roadworthy state as the most recent MOT test dates back to 13 December 2021. While that test at 5,821 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects, the bike has been without a valid certificate for nearly five years. The historical trend appears stable, with no recorded mechanical failures or advisories across the available data, but the long lapse in testing renders the current mechanical condition unknown. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 448 miles per year. Between October 2017 and December 2021, the odometer moved only 645 miles. This pattern suggests the motorcycle has spent significant periods standing idle. While low mileage reduces drivetrain wear, prolonged inactivity often leads to secondary issues such as perished tyres, seized brake calipers, and fuel system degradation. A physical inspection must prioritise the effects of long-term storage. Check for corrosion on the frame and swingarm, as well as the condition of the brake discs for surface pitting. The tyres should be inspected for flat spots or sidewall cracking, even if the tread remains deep. Given the gap since 2021, the battery is likely depleted and the engine oil may have degraded. Verify the operation of all lights and the integrity of the fuel lines. The failure on 27 September 2017 at 5,143 miles was resolved within nine days, but the lack of detail in that entry suggests a minor clerical or quick-fix issue. Focus on whether the bike starts readily and if the suspension remains supple or has stiffened from disuse.
