2019 Lexmoto Aspire 50 TD 50 Q-2 0.0L Petrol · AF69 LPJ

The vehicle currently presents a concerning maintenance trend characterized by a sharp decline in mechanical standards during recent months. While it passed its latest MOT on 8 May 2026 at 5,046 miles, this followed a significant failure just eight days prior and another major failure in late April. The transition from a clean record in 2025 to multiple safety-critical failures in 2026 indicates that the vehicle has suffered from neglect or rapid degradation that was only addressed immediately before the final test. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old machine, averaging only 721 miles per year. There is a notable two-year gap between the August 2023 test at 1,358 miles and the May 2025 test at 1,991 miles, during which the vehicle likely sat for extended periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain-related components, long periods of standing often lead to rubber degradation, seized components, and the corrosion of fasteners, which explains the sudden failures seen in the 2026 results. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the steering and suspension assembly, as the April 2026 test flagged excessive wear in the steering headbearing and deformations in the fork yoke. These issues suggest the vehicle may have suffered impact damage or significant stress despite the low usage. Additionally, the drive chain must be inspected for tension and stretch after being previously noted as excessively loose, and the rear brake system should be verified to ensure the new locking device on the reaction rod fixing is properly secured and not vibrating loose.
