2020 Lexmoto Michigan 0.1L Petrol · SX70 AMK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from cosmetic defects to mechanical wear. The most recent test on 11 May 2026 at 893 miles identified the steering headbearing as slightly stiff or notchy. While the vehicle passed this inspection, this specific fault indicates internal wear within the steering assembly that will likely require de-facto attention to ensure consistent handling, despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 149 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test and the May 2026 test, the vehicle covered only 121 miles, suggesting it sits for long periods in a stationary state. While this lack of use preserves the engine's drivetrain and suspension components, it increases the risks associated with flat-spotting, degraded seals, and corrosion of internal components due to lack of regular operation. A buyer must physically inspect the steering geometry to determine if the notchiness noted in the 2026 test is merely a lack of lubrication or a sign of terminal damage to the steering head bearings. The March 2024 failure due to a misaligned wheel suggests that the front-end geometry may have experienced stress or improper mounting previously. Given the low mileage, check specifically for rubber cracking on the tyres and perished fork seals, as age-related degradation often impacts these components more than mileage on vehicles that are rarely used.
