2016 Lexmoto Matador 0.1L Petrol · CV66 HBP

The most recent MOT test on 15 September 2021 at 598 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, placing the vehicle in a stable maintenance trend with no escalating faults across its brief testing history. The earlier failure on the same date at 582 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent pass confirms the machine met roadworthiness standards at that point. The recorded mileage of 598 miles against a 2016 model year suggests roughly 60 miles of use per annum, an exceptionally low figure for a ten-year-old machine. The only two entries sit on 15 September 2021, showing a jump from 582 to 598 miles within the same day across the fail and pass. Such sparse, low-mileage data gives little insight into long-term wear patterns, though it implies the Matador has stood unused for extended periods. A buyer should physically inspect for corrosion on structural components and the exhaust system, as prolonged standing with minimal use accelerates rust where moisture gathers. The single-day fail with no defects recorded offers no guidance on suspension bushes, brake calipers, or drivetrain condition, so hands-on checks of binding brakes and tyre degradation from age rather than wear remain essential. Given the absence of advisories across both 2021 tests, no recurring mechanical trend emerges from the record. Prospective owners must rely on direct examination of consumables and structural integrity, since the DVSA history alone cannot confirm the Lexmoto's present condition nearly five years after its last test.
