2021 Lexmoto LXS 125 0.1L Petrol · LG71 ACY

The vehicle’s most recent MOT tests—conducted just six months ago on 2026-01-13—show an unusual but technically clean record, with both tests marking a pass despite identical mileage (8,450 miles). The absence of defects or advisories suggests no immediate mechanical failures were detected, though the duplicate test date raises suspicion of administrative duplication rather than a genuine retest. The previous MOT in November 2024 at 6,750 miles also passed without issues, indicating no clear pattern of recurring faults. However, the lack of advisories or minor defects in any test means critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers were not flagged for wear—though this does not guarantee they are in perfect condition. The recorded mileage of 8,450 miles over five years—approximately 1,690 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either very light use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between the November 2024 test (6,750 miles) and the January 2026 tests (8,450 miles) represents just 1,700 miles in nearly 18 months, a rate that could indicate the vehicle was stored or driven infrequently. Such low mileage may reduce wear on high-stress components like tyres or brakes, but it also increases the risk of neglected fluid changes, corrosion from standing, or degraded rubber seals in systems like the suspension or steering. The absence of mileage spikes or irregularities in the record does not imply proactive maintenance—only that the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy use. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are common failure points in low-mileage vehicles left standing for extended periods. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been rarely driven. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should also be examined, as failing twice on tread (if implied by the duplicate test) would suggest basic upkeep was overlooked. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and underbody, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, as low mileage does not preclude rust development in humid conditions. Fluid levels—brake, clutch (if applicable), engine oil, and coolant—should be verified, as stagnation can lead to contamination or degradation. The absence of advisories in tests does not mean these areas are flawless; it simply means they were not severe enough to fail inspection at the time.
