2019 Lexmoto Tempest 125 LJ 125-9A 0.1L Petrol · LF19 WPX

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy and shows a significant decline in mechanical integrity following its most recent inspection. While the bike maintained a passing record for several years, the March 2025 failure at 11,311 miles reveals critical safety-related defects. The tester identified a loose rear wheel spindle and excessive rear wheel bearing play, alongside insecure brake calipers and master cylinders. These faults indicate a transition from minor wear issues to a state of dangerous mechanical instability. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,616 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the March 2022 test at 1,097 miles and the 2024 test at 9,495 miles, where the bike covered over 8,000 miles in two years. This erratic usage suggests long periods of standing, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seizure of brake parts, and the corrosion of moving assemblies as seen in the 2025 report. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear wheel assembly and braking system to ensure all structural failures have been rectified correctly. The recurring issue of grabbing brakes and insecure components suggests a lack of preventative maintenance or poor assembly quality. Additionally, the worn front sprocket and distorted bead rim should be checked for impact damage or fatigue, as the low mileage does not protect these parts from the effects of age and poor storage conditions.
