2019 Lexmoto LXR SE 125 SY 125-10 SE 0.1L Petrol · SY69 PXF

The LXR SE presents a mixed maintenance picture that has deteriorated sharply in its most recent test cycle. The current MOT, issued on 2025-08-08 at 11,391 miles, was a failure, not a pass. Two serious defects were recorded on the same day the vehicle also passed, indicating a re-test followed an initial failure. The trend is worsening. A suspension component mounting was modified to the point of rendering the suspension inoperative, a major structural and safety defect under item 5.3.3 (c) (ii). The rear tyre was also below the 1.0mm minimum tread depth. These are not minor consumable advisories. They point to a machine that was in a poor state of repair at its last test, only ten months ago. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2019 machine. At roughly 1,627 miles per year over seven years, this 125cc commuter has seen very light use. The record shows 6,167 miles in October 2022, 9,223 miles by October 2023, 10,874 miles in March 2024, and then 11,391 miles by August 2025. That is a clear, steady accumulation pattern with no sudden jumps or suspicious gaps. The low annual mileage is consistent, but it also raises the possibility of long periods standing still, which can cause its own problems such as seized brake calipers, perished rubber bushes, and stale fuel system issues. The 2023 test at 9,223 miles flagged rear brake travel and a dual braking system not working, a direct functional brake fault. That defect was cleared by the 2024 pass, but the 2025 failure then revealed a fundamentally compromised rear suspension mounting. A buyer must inspect the entire rear suspension assembly in person. Check the swingarm pivot, shock linkage, and subframe mounts for any signs of crude welding, drilling, or non-standard brackets that would constitute a modified and inoperative mounting. Any such modification raises serious questions about the structural integrity of the frame and the vehicle's stability under braking and cornering. Beyond the suspension, the rear braking system demands close scrutiny. The history shows a recurring rear brake issue across multiple years. A buyer should verify the rear caliper slides freely, the disc is not warped or corroded, and the master cylinder and lines are functioning without air or fluid restriction. The rear tyre was illegal at the last test, so check the current tyre's date code and condition carefully. Given the low mileage but severe defects, this record suggests neglect rather than heavy use. A full mechanical inspection by a qualified technician is essential before any purchase.
