2020 Lexmoto Tempest 125 LJ 125-9A 0.1L Petrol · LB20 OKW

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a persistence of unresolved minor mechanical defects. The most recent test on August 30 2025 at 4,479 miles passed but highlighted recurring issues that were present during the previous inspection. While the bike remains legal for the road, the presence of repeated advisories suggests a pattern of ownership that prioritizes minimum compliance over proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 746 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 3,563 miles and the August 2025 test at 4,479 miles, the vehicle covered only 916 miles. This low usage indicates the bike likely spends long periods stationary, which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, seized seals, and fluid oxidation despite low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must physically inspect the braking system specifically, as the short brake lever was flagged in both 2023 and 2025. This could indicate a worn master cylinder or a failing hydraulic assembly that requires attention to ensure consistent pressure. The 2025 test also noted a slightly loose drive chain, which necessitates a check of chain tension and sprocket wear to prevent derailment or premature component failure. The discoloured direction indicators noted across both tests are a cosmetic defect likely caused by UV exposure rather than a mechanical failure. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check for flat spots on the tyres and corrosion on the fork legs, as these are common in vehicles that sit unused for extended periods. Ensure the engine oil is clean and brake fluid has been replaced regularly to prevent internal corrosion within the lines.
