2019 Lexmoto Aspire 50 TD 50 Q-2 0.0L Petrol · DY69 XDG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in attention to mechanical upkeep. While the most recent test in March 2025 at 4,958 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just ten days prior. The failure in February 2025 revealed multiple critical issues including lighting malfunctions and an excessively tight drive chain, indicating that the bike was only serviced when forced by the MOT process rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage data presents a significant anomaly that requires immediate investigation. In August 2022, the vehicle recorded 20,226 miles, yet by September 2023, the record dropped to 4,307 miles. This discrepancy suggests either a clerical error in the DVSA database or an odometer replacement. Given the seven-year age of the machine, the current average of roughly 708 miles per year is exceptionally low, which often correlates with long periods of stationary. Such inactivity can lead to degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, and internal fluid breakdown despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer must physically inspect the steering headbearing to ensure the free play noted in early 2025 has been properly rectified and not merely masked. The drive chain should be checked for proper tension and lubrication, as the previous tightness likely caused premature wear on the rear sprocket and output shaft. Because of the low mileage and potential long stands, a thorough check for flat spots on tyres, corrosion, and perished fuel is essential, as these components suffer from age rather than distance in vehicles that are infrequently used.
