2017 Lexmoto Hawk 125 XGJ 125-28 0.1L Petrol · EO67 AEL

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-03 at 6,490 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the preceding test on 2025-12-01 at 6,481 miles resulted in a fail despite no defects being listed, raising questions about the accuracy of the assessment. The 2024-10-23 test at 6,474 miles also passed without issues, suggesting no significant mechanical decline in the 15 months prior. The lack of recorded defects in the last two passes implies the bike has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, though the unexplained fail warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 6,490 miles over nine years equates to an average of 721 miles annually, significantly below typical usage for its age. This low mileage may indicate prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to issues such as battery degradation, fluid stagnation, or corrosion in static components. The MOT records show no gaps longer than 14 months between tests, suggesting consistent testing, but the sparse data offers limited insight into potential wear on consumables like tyres or brake pads. The absence of advisories or failures in recent tests does not confirm proactive maintenance, only compliance with baseline standards. A buyer should physically inspect the bike for signs of neglect linked to low usage, such as dry-rotted tyres, seized suspension bushes, or oxidised brake calipers. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural issues in the MOT history is positive, but the low mileage means hidden problems—like a failing starter motor or fuel system contamination—may not surface until after purchase. Focus on checking the exhaust system for rust, the chain and sprockets for wear, and the battery’s condition, as these components are vulnerable to prolonged inactivity. The MOT record provides a baseline but does not replace a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
