2020 Lexmoto Aspire 50 TD 50 Q-2 0.0L Petrol · HV20 YGA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with the steering assembly. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 3,062 miles passed, the tester flagged the steering headbearing as slightly stiff or notchy. This follows a failure in July 2023 for the same defect, indicating that while the fault was addressed, the component remains a point of concern for the vehicle's mechanical stability. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, recording only 3,062 miles in total or roughly 510 miles per annum. There is a significant gap between the July 2023 test and the September 2025 test, during which the vehicle covered only 1,626 miles. This low usage suggests the bike has likely sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to degradation of rubber components, flat spotting on tyres, and corrosion despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the steering geometry to check for continued notchiness or resistance that might suggest the headbearing requires full replacement. The July 2023 failure also highlighted an insecure front brake disc and an incorrectly fitted drive chain locking device. Although these were rectified, the buyer should verify that the disc bolts are torqued to specification and the chain tension is correctly adjusted. Given the low mileage, checking for perished seals or seized brake calipers is essential to ensure the bike has not suffered from lack of use.
