2019 Lexmoto ZSX 0.1L Petrol · EP19 ELO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most June 2024 test at 17,064 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just ten days prior at 16,980 miles. The transition from a major exhaust leak and a failing drive chain to a pass indicates that the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults when forced by testing requirements rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low, having covered only 17,064 miles over seven years, which averages to approximately 2,400 miles per annum. However, a notable gap in usage appears between June 2023 and June 2024, where the vehicle clocked over 6,700 miles in twelve months. Such low-frequency use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals, which is evidenced by the worn shock absorber bush recorded in 2022 at just 8,086 miles despite the low overall mileage. A buyer must physically inspect the rear drive chain, as it has progressed from being slightly tight in 2022 to likely failure in June 2024. The front steering headbearing was flagged as stiff or notchy in the most recent test and represents a mechanical wear item that requires attention to ensure consistent steering geometry. Additionally, the rear brake pads and discs were noted as being near minimum limits in 2024; given the low mileage, these components may have suffered from corrosion or seizing during long periods of inactivity, necessitating a thorough check of the braking surfaces and caliper movement.
