2015 Lexmoto ZSF 0.1L Petrol · ST15 VUU

The vehicle presents a complex roadworthiness profile where the maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in December 2021 at 15,975 miles passed with no defects, this followed a significant failure just five days prior. That failure revealed critical mechanical issues including a binding offside brake, a rough front wheel bearing, and a damaged brake hose. The trend suggests that the owner only addressed faults once they reached the threshold of an MOT failure, rather than maintaining a consistent service schedule. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging only 1,452 miles per year. There is a notable gap in data between the 2018 test at 4,306 miles and the 2019 test, where the vehicle covered nearly 9,000 miles. This indicates the bike may have sat stationary for long periods. Such usage patterns often lead to degradation of rubber components, seized seals, and internal corrosion, which aligns with the recurring brake and bearing issues noted between 2020 and 2021. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and drivetrain. The record shows repeated issues with binding brakes, rear pedals not releasing, and damaged hoses, which indicate potential caliper corrosion or perished fluid lines due to low use. The drive chain was flagged as worn and excessively loose in 2020, requiring a check for proper stretch and sprocket wear on the sprockets. Additionally, the steering head bearing reported with free play in 2019 should be tested specifically during a test ride to ensure the play has not worsened despite the low mileage.
