2014 Lexmoto ZSX 0.1L Petrol · WJ14 VLD

The vehicle presents an inconsistent roadworthiness profile characterized by a history of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While the most recent MOT test in August 2022 at 12,156 miles passed, it followed an immediate failure on the same day just five miles prior due to throttle issues and drive chain wear. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by a testing failure, as evidenced by the recurring presence of safety-critical defects across multiple years and inspection intervals. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,013 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between October 2020 at 11,080 miles and June 2021 at 11,083 miles, representing only three miles covered in eight months. This low usage often implies the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seized seals, and internal corrosion, likely contributing to the failures related to insecure switches and electrical components noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering headbearing, which failed for excessive free play in both 2020 and 2021. The repeated failures of the brake pedal and offside front brake lever indicate a lack of attention to basic control security that requires immediate verification. Furthermore, the throttle operating issues and drive chain wear flagged in 2022 suggest the drivetrain may require urgent adjustment. Given the low mileage, check also for flat spots on the tyres and perished brake lines, as these are common symptoms of vehicles that are infrequently used.
