2019 Lexmoto ZSB 125 Efi SK 125-8 E4 0.1L Petrol · KT19 FBG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in July 2024 at 22,190 miles, this followed an immediate failure due to headlamp alignment and structural corrosion. The trend shows a stable but concerning cycle where recurring mechanical issues are addressed only after failing a test, suggesting the previous owner only rectified faults when legally necessary to maintain the MOT. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 22,190 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 3,170 miles per year. However, the data shows a significant concentration of mechanical failures between April 2023 and July 2023, where the bike covered only 126 miles across three separate tests. This short period saw three consecutive failures involving critical components like the drive chain, brakes, and steering head bearings. The low annual mileage suggests the motorcycle may sit for long periods, which often correlates with the environmental corrosion and seized components noted in the records. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the structural integrity of the frame, as the tester consistently flagged corrosion on the rear suspension arm and various structural points since 2023. Although these were not classified as significantly weakened yet, the presence of rust on the brake pedal and other items indicates environmental exposure. The front shock absorbers also require scrutiny, as the misting of oil recorded in 2024 suggests early seal failure that could lead to total leaks. The drivetrain assembly, specifically the chain and sprockets, should be checked for proper tension given the history of excessive tightness, looseness, and wear. The buyer should also verify the steering head bearings for notchiness, as this was a noted failure point in 2023. Given the history of binding front brakes and worn discs, a thorough test ride of the entire braking system is necessary to ensure the repairs made prior to the last MOT were effective and durable.
