2015 Lexmoto Arrow 0.1L Petrol · WJ15 CLZ

The 2024‑08‑27 MOT at 98,932 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester noted a worn off‑side front brake lever and brake pads approaching the minimum limit. This follows a series of earlier failures and passes that reveal an inconsistent maintenance record: a major defect cluster in March 2023, a clean pass in May 2023, a minor pass in August 2023, a multi‑defect failure in August 2024, and finally a pass with only minor brake‑related advisories. The trend is therefore not steadily improving; rather, the vehicle has experienced periodic neglect followed by remedial work, with the most recent test confirming that the brakes remain functional but are approaching wear limits. Mileage accumulation is uneven. After a clean pass at 10,094 miles in June 2020, the odometer remained at zero for the next two and a half years, with three consecutive MOTs recorded at 0 miles in 2023. A sudden jump to 99,072 miles in August 2024, just 140 miles before the final pass, indicates a period of low use followed by rapid mileage gain, which can accelerate wear on consumables and mechanical components. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring mechanical issues flagged across the record. The suspension arm attachment bracket and swingarm mounting were noted insecure in March 2023 and again in August 2023, suggesting potential looseness in the rear suspension that warrants a physical inspection of bushes, coil springs and shock absorber damping. Brake wear is evident: the lever showed excessive wear in 2023 and 2024, pads were near minimum in 2024, and the 2023 failure cited insufficient reserve travel. The drive chain and sprocket were described as loose and worn in 2023, and the rear stop lamp and direction indicators were insecure in 2024, pointing to possible corrosion or mounting fatigue that should be examined. In summary, while the vehicle passed the latest test and is currently roadworthy, the history reveals intermittent neglect of suspension, brake and lighting systems, as well as a pronounced mileage spike that may have contributed to accelerated component wear. A prospective purchaser should verify the integrity of the rear suspension mounting, inspect brake pad thickness and lever condition, assess chain tension and sprocket wear, and check for structural rust or detachment of rear lighting assemblies before committing to the purchase.
