2017 Lexmoto FMX 125 EFI WY 125 T-108 E4 0.1L Petrol · MJ67 VJC

The most recent MOT recorded for this vehicle was a pass in May 2023. Evaluating the historical data, the maintenance trend suggests a vehicle that has experienced intermittent electrical failures and gradual wear on consumable components. While the vehicle has passed its tests, the presence of major failures regarding the headlamp and horn in 2023, alongside recurring advisories for the rear braking system, indicates that while the bike is roadworthy, it has required reactive maintenance to address specific component failures rather than a strictly proactive service schedule. With 25,849 miles covered over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 2,872 miles per year. This is considered low mileage for a motorcycle of this age. While lower mileage typically implies less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it also carries the risk of issues associated with long periods of standing. Low annual usage can lead to the degradation of rubber components, the stagnation of fluids, and the potential for corrosion on exposed metal surfaces that are not regularly cleaned or exercised through frequent use. A primary mechanical concern for a prospective buyer is the advisory regarding the rear brake disc being worn, pitted, or scored. You must physically inspect the disc for deep grooves or significant surface corrosion. During a test ride, listen for any grinding noises or feel for a pulsating sensation through the brake lever, which could indicate uneven wear or a binding caliper. Furthermore, given the previous advisory regarding a worn nearside rear shock absorber bush and an insecure brake hose, you should check the rear suspension for excessive lateral movement or clunking sounds when riding over bumps, and ensure the rear brake lines are securely routed and free from signs of perished rubber or weeping fluid. Due to the low mileage and age, a thorough physical inspection of the tyres is essential. Check the sidewalls for cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Inspect the drive chain for signs of heavy corrosion or stiffness, which often occurs when a vehicle sits for extended periods. It is also advisable to verify the service history to ensure that oil and brake fluid changes have been conducted based on calendar intervals rather than just mileage, as these fluids absorb moisture and degrade chemically over time. Finally, check the 12V battery health and the overall condition of the fuel system to ensure no residue from old fuel has caused blockages.
