2016 Lexmoto Assault 0.1L Petrol · DP66 TFK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its most recent certification, despite its age. The final recorded test on 24 August 2022 at 1,582 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating the motorcycle met all minimum safety standards at that time. However, because this test took place nearly four years ago, the vehicle is currently uncertified and requires an immediate inspection to verify current roadworthiness. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old machine, averaging approximately 158 miles per year. There is a significant discrepancy in the data between July 2020, where the bike recorded 7,304 miles, and August 2022, where the mileage dropped to 1,582 miles. This suggests the vehicle likely sat stationary for long periods or the odometer reading was recorded incorrectly. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, prolonged inactivity often leads to the degradation of rubber components, fluid breakdown, and internal corrosion within the fuel lines and seals. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on the effects of long-term storage. The history shows failures in 2020 and 2021 at very low mileages, which often point to issues with perished seals or lighting failures rather than mechanical wear and tear. Inspect the tyres for flat spots and sidew rot, and check the brake lines for seized calipers due to lack of use. Given the gap in the last MOT, verifying the integrity of the fuel system and ensuring the suspension components have not seized are critical priorities before purchase.
