2021 Lexmoto LJ 250-3V Vendetta 0.2L Petrol · MM21 DKN

The Lexmoto LJ 250-3V Vendetta presents a clean and stable MOT history, with both recent tests—June 2024 at 1,234 miles and June 2025 at 1,380 miles—passing without any advisories or defects. This indicates no major mechanical issues, structural concerns, or recurring faults have been identified by the tester in the past year. The absence of even minor advisories (such as worn tyres, suspension wear, or exhaust leaks) suggests either meticulous maintenance by previous owners or, more likely, the vehicle’s low mileage mitigating typical wear. Given the 2025 test was conducted just over a year ago, the current roadworthiness status remains reliable, though a pre-purchase inspection would still be prudent to verify any post-MOT developments. The vehicle’s mileage of just 1,380 miles over five years—an average of around 276 miles annually—is exceptionally low for its age, falling well below industry norms. This suggests either minimal use, prolonged storage periods, or a combination of both. The 146-mile increase between tests (1,234 to 1,380 miles) over a 12-month span is consistent with the overall trend, reinforcing the impression of light usage. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on critical components like brakes, suspension bushes, and drivetrain seals, but it also raises questions about potential neglect of fluid changes, battery health, or tyre condition during periods of inactivity. Without further service records, it’s impossible to confirm whether routine maintenance (such as oil changes or brake fluid renewal) has been adhered to. For a buyer, the primary focus should be on components most vulnerable to long-term disuse or deferred maintenance. Given the lack of MOT advisories, structural integrity—such as corrosion in wheel arches, suspension mounts, or chassis welds—should be visually inspected for early signs of deterioration despite low mileage. Pay particular attention to the battery, as prolonged inactivity can lead to sulphation or terminal corrosion, even if the vehicle starts reliably. Tyre condition, including sidewall cracking or uneven wear, should be checked, as low-mileage cars can still suffer from age-related rubber degradation. Additionally, verify the operation of all fluid levels (engine oil, brake fluid, coolant) and test the brakes for responsiveness, as binding or spongy pedals could indicate internal wear not yet visible during MOT testing. The absence of recorded faults does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially given the vehicle’s unusual usage pattern.
