2019 Lexmoto Tempest 125 LJ 125-9A 0.1L Petrol · SC19 VUB

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 4,485 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates recurring minor mechanical adjustments. While the loose nearside rear drive chain was flagged in the 2026 test and previously in June 2022, the absence of defects in the 2024 inspection suggests that these issues are addressed periodically rather than escalating into serious mechanical failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old motorcycle, with only 4,485 miles recorded total. This equates to an average of approximately 640 miles per year, which suggests the bike is used sparingly or sits for long periods. There is a notable two-year gap between the June 2022 and February 2024 tests during which the vehicle covered only 1,652 miles. Such low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid stagnation despite the lack of mechanical wear. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the drive system and braking components. Because the tester flagged a binding rear brake in 2022 and a loose chain in both 2022 and 2026, the tensioner, sprocket teeth, and rear caliper movement require scrutiny for seizing or excessive stretch. The low mileage also increases the risk of flat-spotted tyres or corrosion on brake discs, which are not always captured in a standard MOT unless they affect immediate safety.
