2019 Lexmoto LXR 125 SY 125-10 0.1L Petrol · WG68 CWP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in July 2024 at 18,064 miles, it had failed just eight days prior due to multiple safety-critical defects. The trend suggests the owner only addresses faults when forced by an MOT failure. The recurring issue of a stiff steering headbearing remains present across both 2024 tests, indicating a mechanical wear that has not been rectified despite repeated flagging. At 18,064 miles over seven years, the motorcycle averages approximately 2,500 miles per year. This low-mileage profile correlates with significant age-related degradation noted in the records. Between July 2022 and June 2023, the vehicle covered only 781 miles, yet the tyres suffered from perishing and sidewall cracking during this period. This indicates the bike likely sits for long periods, causing rubber components to dry and fail due to time and environmental exposure rather than mechanical wear from road use. A buyer must inspect the front suspension assembly closely, as both shock absorbers have been flagged for oil misting as far back as 2022. The persistent steering headbearing fault requires a physical check for play or resistance during steering, which could compromise handling if not replaced. Furthermore, given the history of failing for low tread depth and perished rubber, the current state of the tyres must be scrutinized for deep cracking or sidewalling regardless of remaining tread depth. The drive chain should also be inspected for proper tension and rust, as it was noted as loose in 2022.
