2020 Lexmoto Assault 125 HJ 125-J E4 0.1L Petrol · DS70 KVW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent MOT-test in December 2024 at 8,325 miles passed, it introduced several new advisories that were not present in the previous year. The transition from a significant failure in late 2023 to a pass in 2024 suggests that major faults were addressed, yet the emergence of new issues indicates that components are beginning to require immediate attention. The mileage data presents a major discrepancy that requires physical verification. The entry from December 2023 records 45,604 miles, which contrasts sharply with the 8,325 miles recorded just one year later in December 2024. This massive drop suggests either an odometer recording error or a clerical mistake during the previous test. If the 8,325-mile figure is accurate, the bike has covered a low average of approximately 1,400 miles per year, which often leads to degradation of rubber components and corrosion due to lack of mechanical use. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension and braking system. The offside front shock absorber has been flagged for oil misting since 2023, indicating a failing seal that will likely eventually worsen. The December 2024 test also noted front brake binding and pads reaching the wear limit, suggesting the braking system is nearing a service interval. Additionally, the surface rust on both the nearside and offside rear road springs should be monitored for structural pitting to ensure the corrosion has not progressed beyond the surface. The previous failure in December 2023 due to a loose drive chain and worn sprockets indicates a period of significant drivetrain neglect. While these were rectified to achieve the pass, the buyer should verify the chain tension and sprocket condition now to ensure quality parts were used. Given the history of a bent brake pedal and insecure footrest, a thorough check of all linkages and fasteners is essential to ensure the motorcycle has been properly secured after those previous repairs.
