Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recurring el
Prioritise a thorough check of the electrical system. The MOT history shows a failure in June 2024 for multiple non-working lamps and subsequent advisories in September 2025 regarding reduced light intensity for the headlamp and rear indicators, suggesting a persistent issue with the lighting circuit or bulbs.
Investigate the front suspension. A failure was recorded in June 2024 for a front shock absorber with oil misting; you should confirm whether the unit was replaced or repaired. Given the very low mileage for a ten-year-old bike, check for signs of deterioration from long periods of inactivity, such as perished tyres or battery degradation.
Operating a 124cc petrol engine typically results in low fuel consumption and affordable road tax. Insurance costs are generally low, as these models often fall into beginner-friendly insurance groups, making them economical for new riders.
Maintenance costs for Lexmoto vehicles are usually modest, though the total annual expenditure will depend on the availability of parts for this specific 2016 model. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, are likely to be low.
Carefully inspect all lighting components. Reference the June 2024 failure (offside indicators and rear position lamp) and the September 2025 advisories (reduced intensity of headlamp and rear indicators) to ensure the electrical system is now functioning at full strength.
Examine the front forks for any signs of oil leakage or 'misting' around the seals, as this was a specific cause for failure in June 2024. Additionally, check the condition of the black paintwork and plastics for any UV damage or corrosion that may have occurred during the vehicle's lifetime.
This black 2016 Lexmoto Venom has covered 8,709 miles. The MOT history includes a failure in June 2024 involving lighting and shock absorber oil misting, followed by a clean pass in September 2024 and a pass with lighting advisories in September 2025. It presents as a low-mileage example of a 124cc petrol motorcycle.
There is currently no aggregate MOT data available to determine the general reliability reputation of the Lexmoto Venom.
