2020 Lexmoto LXR 125 SY 125-10 0.1L Petrol · WG70 YZP

This 2020 Lexmoto LXR 125 SY currently holds a clean MOT certificate issued on 20 August 2025 at 9,412 miles, with zero defects recorded. That represents a marked improvement over the preceding years. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. The February 2024 failure at 6,637 miles revealed multiple active faults across lighting, braking, and drivetrain systems, yet by the June 2024 retest at 6,639 miles only minor advisories remained, and by August 2025 the tester found nothing to flag at all. This trajectory suggests the previous owner addressed the serious defects promptly and has since kept the machine in reasonable order. The annual mileage of roughly 1,569 miles is notably low for a six-year-old motorcycle. The 2,773-mile gap between the February 2024 and August 2025 tests, spanning eighteen months, confirms prolonged periods of light use or standing. Low mileage reduces consumable wear on brake pads, tyres, and chain and sprockets, but it can also mask problems caused by inactivity, such as stale fuel, degraded brake fluid, seized bearings, and corrosion developing in areas that regular heat cycles would otherwise help control. The February 2024 failure record is the most technically revealing entry and should guide any pre-purchase inspection. The tester flagged a worn and scored rear brake disc alongside a binding front caliper, indicating the braking system was poorly maintained or neglected at that point. Although the August 2025 test passed clean, a buyer should still verify rear disc thickness, pad condition, and caliper operation in person, paying close attention to whether the caliper slides freely and the disc runs true without hot spots or scoring marks. The drive chain was flagged as loose in February 2024 and worn but acceptable by June 2024, so chain tension, sprocket tooth condition, and lubrication quality deserve direct visual and physical checks. The rear lower suspension arm advisory for surface corrosion in June 2024, while not serious at the time, warrants re-examination now, particularly around mounting points and welds, to confirm corrosion has not progressed structurally. The nearside mirror was recorded as missing in June 2024, and its current presence and security should be confirmed. Beyond the documented faults, a buyer should inspect tyre date codes and tread depth, given the low annual mileage and the age of the rubber, which may have deteriorated through age rather than wear. Suspension linkage play, head bearing smoothness, and fork seal condition are all relevant on a machine that may have spent extended periods stationary. The clean August 2025 result is encouraging, but it reflects a single point in time, and a hands-on inspection remains essential before purchase.
