2021 Lexmoto TR 125-2 LXR 125 SE 0.1L Petrol · MF71 DHM

A clean bill of roadworthiness is the headline of this 2021 Lexmoto TR 125-2's MOT record, with the sole statutory test on 24 October 2024 passing without a single advisory, failure item, or minor defect logged by the DVSA examiner. With no recorded advisories to track over time, there is no evolving pattern of wear to scrutinise and no previously flagged components that might indicate incipient deterioration. This is the most favourable starting point a prospective buyer could hope for from the official record, and it leaves the task of identifying mechanical risk firmly in the hands of a physical inspection rather than a paper trail. Annual mileage of roughly 1,225 miles over the vehicle's five-year life places this Lexmoto firmly in low-use territory, well below what would be expected even for a 125cc commuter machine typically ridden for training or short urban trips. Such light accumulation suggests the motorcycle has either seen only occasional use or has spent extended periods stationary, both of which carry their own mechanical consequences. Standing time on a small-capacity single or twin can accelerate tyre dry-rotting, flatten fork oil, degrade brake fluid through moisture absorption, oxidise battery internals, and leave internal engine surfaces vulnerable to condensation-related corrosion, particularly on a learner-orientated machine that may not have been subject to regular warm-up cycles. For a prospective buyer, the absence of recorded advisories means there are no specific flagged components to chase down, but the low-mileage profile warrants a targeted physical check. Examine the tyres closely for sidewall cracking or perishing rather than relying on tread depth alone, and check the date code on the sidewall to confirm they are not from the original factory fitment and have not aged out of service. Test the front and rear brakes firmly from speed; expect a solid lever and pedal feel without sponginess or excessive travel, which would point to aged fluid. During a test ride, listen for any top-yoke rattle or stiction in the front forks over bumps, feel for any weave or instability at low speed that might indicate aged suspension damping, and confirm the engine starts promptly from cold without excessive cranking, which would betray a weakened battery. Finally, check for any oily residue around the fork seals, around the engine cases, and beneath the bike on the ground, and verify that all lamps, indicators, and the horn function correctly, as these are common failure points on lightly used commuter motorcycles.
