2020 Lexmoto Titan 125 ZN 125 T-8F 0.1L Petrol · RE20 DVW

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT but the maintenance history indicates a trend of worsening mechanical neglect. While it passed the most recent test in October 2024 at 9,612 miles, the record reveals several unresolved issues that persisted from a previous failure. The transition from a clean pass in 2023 to multiple mechanical defects in 2024 suggests that the vehicle has been receiving only reactive maintenance rather than proactive preventative care. At 9,612 miles, the six-year-old motorcycle shows very low annual usage, averaging approximately 1,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between the May 2023 test at 4,081 miles and the August 2024 failure at 8,883 miles. This irregular usage pattern often results in the vehicle standing stationary for long periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals, consistent with the reported failure of the rear shock absorber's damping effect. A buyer must scrutinise the steering head bearings, which were flagged for excessive wear and free play in August 2024. The braking system also requires immediate attention as the front pads were noted to be near the minimum limit during the October test, and the rear brake continues to show fluctuating effort and a short lever. These issues suggest that the hydraulic or mechanical components are reaching their service limit. Additionally, the rear shock absorber should be inspected for leaks, as reduced damping compromises the stability and handling of the motorcycle.
