2019 Lexmoto Diablo 50 LJ 50 QT-9M 0.0L Petrol · AF69 LPP

The vehicle currently presents a poor state of roadworthiness following a significant failure during its most recent inspection. While the bike held a clean record in 2022, the March 2024 test at 4,200 miles revealed a cascade of mechanical and safety failures. The maintenance trend is worsening, as the vehicle moved from minor component leaks to critical failures in the steering, wheel bearings, and structural integrity, suggesting a period of neglect or long-term storage that allowed components to deteriorate. At 4,200 miles over seven years, the mileage pattern is exceptionally low, averaging only 600 miles per year. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals despite minimal travel. The two-year gap between the August 2022 and March 2024 tests indicates the vehicle likely sat stationary for long periods. The presence of a structural tear in the rear tyre and a stiff steering head bearing in March 2024 are classic symptoms of dry rot and seized components caused by inactivity rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front end and suspension assembly to ensure all flagged faults were rectified correctly. The tester previously noted excessive play in the front wheel bearing and a notched steering head bearing, which are critical safety risks if not replaced. You should verify the lower suspension bushes and engine mounts for the slight play mentioned in the 2024 report. Given the history of failed stop lamps and an insecure seat, a full electrical circuit check and seat locking mechanism test are mandatory to ensure the vehicle is truly fit for road.
