2019 Lexmoto Valiant 0.1L Petrol · WG19 ZKF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the most recent April 2026 test at 4,959 miles, the immediate failure just six weeks prior highlights a significant history of neglected mechanical and safety components. The trend is inconsistent, as the owner appears only to address critical faults after a formal MOT failure rather than performing routine preventative checks between annual intervals. At seven years old, the vehicle has covered only 4,959 miles, reflecting an average usage of approximately 700 miles per year. This low mileage suggests the bike sits stationary for long periods, which explains the recurring issues with flat tyres and perished sidewall cracking noted in early 2026. The lack of mileage accumulation—moving only under 400 miles between February 2024 and March 2026—increases the likelihood of degraded rubber components, seals, and fluid contamination rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must physically inspect the front braking system and drive train. The record shows repeated excessive fluctuation of brake effort and insufficient lever reserve travel in both 2025 and 2026, indicating potentially warped discs or a failing master cylinder. The rear brake pads were previously found below the legal limit of 1.0mm, and the drive chain has been flagged as excessively loose twice, requiring a thorough check for stretch and sprocket wear. Additionally, the handlebar grips and lighting assemblies should be checked for secure fit, as these were recurring points of failure.
