2014 Lexmoto ZN 0.1L Petrol · ML64 MVT

The 2014 Lexmoto ZN presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record, with its most recent MOT on 8 March 2022 passing at 3,665 miles with zero defects. The maintenance trend is stable and, by the final test, fully resolving. A recurring advisory for a worn rear tyre in 2017 and 2018 did not persist into the 2020 or 2022 tests, suggesting the owner corrected the issue and has since kept on top of basic consumable upkeep. No corrosion, suspension, braking, or structural defects have ever been flagged. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low and raises its own questions. The bike covered just 13 miles between the 2020 and 2022 tests, and only 649 miles over the three-year span from 2018 to 2021. At roughly 305 miles per year over its twelve-year life, this is far below typical annual use. Such low mileage can mean minimal mechanical wear, but prolonged standing risks dried-out seals, stale fuel, and perished rubber hoses and tyres that MOT checks do not always capture. The gap between the 2018 and 2020 tests is also notable, with no recorded activity in 2019, hinting at a period of storage. A buyer should still inspect the rear tyre carefully, given its repeated appearance on advisories in 2017 and 2018. Even though the last two tests were clean, a bike sitting for long periods can develop sidewall cracking or flat-spotting that a visual MOT check might miss. Check the tyre date codes and look for age-related deterioration rather than just tread depth. The front tyre and brake components also deserve close scrutiny, as low-use motorcycles often suffer from seized calipers, binding discs, and glazed pads from lack of regular heat cycling and use. Suspension and structural integrity appear sound on paper, but a static inspection is essential. Look for fork seal leaks, weeping dampers, and corrosion on the frame, welds, and fasteners, particularly if the bike has been stored in a damp environment. A short test ride will reveal any binding brakes, clunky transmission, or handling issues that a mileage-sparse MOT history cannot fully disclose.
