2019 Lexmoto Assault 125 HJ 125-J E4 0.1L Petrol · AR19 XBD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in September 2023 at 1,167 miles passed, but with advisories for a loose drive chain and a rear tyre reaching the legal tread limit. This suggests that while the bike is functional, basic consumable components are only addressed when they approach point of failure or legal non-compliance rather than during routine service intervals. The mileage data is highly inconsistent for a seven-year-old vehicle. In August 2022, the bike recorded 5,225 miles, yet by September 2023, the recorded figure dropped to 1,167 miles. This discrepancy of over 4,000 miles in the reverse direction suggests either a recording error or that the vehicle has sat for long periods without use. Long-term standing often lead to the degradation of rubber seals, seized calipers, and fuel-related components, which contradicts the low current odometer reading. A buyer must scrutinise the front braking and suspension systems due to the serious failures recorded in August 2022. At 5,225 miles, both front shock absorbers failed with serious fluid leaks from the fork seals, and the braking system suffered from contaminated pads and discs with inadequate effort. While these were reportedly rectified, the buyer should verify that no new leaks have developed and that the brake discs are not scored or pitted. Given the low mileage and history of standing, the drive chain should also be inspected for excessive stretch or rust resulting from stagnation.
