2019 Lexmoto Diablo 50 LJ 50 QT-9M 0.0L Petrol · RN19 WYJ

The Lexmoto Diablo currently holds a valid MOT status, though the record from 18 July 2024 at 8,183 miles indicates a developing mechanical vulnerability. While the vehicle passed the inspection, the tester identified oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber and pitting on the fork tubes. These findings suggest the suspension seals are nearing the end of their functional lifespan, representing a worsening trend in the front-end integrity that will require proactive intervention rather than simple monitoring. The recorded mileage of 8,183 over a seven-year period confirms an average annual usage of approximately 1,169 miles. This low-intensity pattern indicates the scooter has spent significant periods stationary, which often leads to issues beyond simple wear and tear. The two-year gap between the 2022 test at 7,990 miles and the 2024 test shows only 193 miles of use, confirming that the vehicle has seen minimal road time. Such infrequent operation can lead to fuel system degradation and seized fasteners, which are not always captured during a standard MOT test. Prospective buyers must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension forks for signs of active hydraulic fluid leakage, as the existing pitting will accelerate seal failure. You should also check the steering head bearings for notchiness, a common symptom of long-term storage. Given the low mileage, verify that the tyres do not show signs of sidewall cracking or perishing due to age, even if the tread depth remains sufficient. A thorough test of the electrical system and cold-start performance is essential to ensure that the battery and fuel delivery components have not suffered from the prolonged periods of inactivity noted in the history.
