2019 Lexmoto Venom 0.1L Petrol · GU19 KBX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline following a period of stability. While the most recent test in April 2025 at 114 miles passed, it introduced three distinct advisories that were not present in the previous year. The appearance of a noisy exhaust, a front tyre nearing the legal limit, and a leaking nearside front shock absorber indicates that the vehicle has suffered from neglect during its period of inactivity. The mileage data is highly irregular and suggests long periods of total stand. The vehicle recorded 7,924 miles in February 2024, yet dropped to just 114 miles by April 2025. This unexplained loss of nearly 7,800 miles in just fourteen months indicates the bike was likely stationary for a significant portion of that time. Such low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seized seals, and fluid breakdown, which explains the mechanical issues surfacing despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must physically inspect the nearside front shock absorber to determine if the misting oil has progressed to a seal failure that would compromise handling. The steering headbearing failure noted in February 2024 at 7,910 miles also warrants a thorough check for any remaining notches or resistance, as this component was previously flagged as excessively stiff. Given the noisy exhaust advisory, the mounting brackets should be examined for corrosion or loose bolts that often occur when a vehicle sits for long durations.
