2017 Lexmoto XTR 0.1L Petrol · WJ17 PFU

The vehicle is currently in an unroadworthy state, showing a significantly worsening maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 April 2026 at 26,263 miles resulted in a comprehensive failure with multiple safety-critical defects. These include a loose steering headbearing, an insecure front upper fork yoke, and steering operation fouling on the bodywork. The transition from a pass in 2025 to this failure suggests a failure to address developing mechanical issues between tests. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, recording only 26,263 miles which averages roughly 2,900 miles per year. While low mileage often suggests less wear, the data here indicates long periods of inactivity or reactive neglect. Between October 2023 at 21,612 miles and April 2026 at 26,263 miles, the vehicle covered only 4,651 miles, yet the mechanical condition deteriorated rapidly. This suggests that components are suffering from age degradation and lack of use rather than high-mile stress. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering and suspension assemblies. The record shows a persistent history of shock absorber failure, progressing from light misting in 2022 to a total reduced damping effect by 2026. The recent discovery of steering headbearing wear and an insecure fork yoke are serious structural risks that require immediate replacement and adjustment. Furthermore, the rear braking system needs scrutiny, as the 2025 test revealed a complete lack of braking effort at one wheel and critically low fluid levels. The exhaust and drive system also demand close attention. The exhaust has been flagged as noisy since at least 2022, and the latest test noted an excessively loose drive chain. The presence of an engine oil leak in the 2026 report further indicates that basic fluid maintenance has been overlooked. Given that the rear tyre tread was found at the absolute legal limit of 1.0mm in the latest test, it is clear the previous owner has neglected basic consumable items until they forced a failure.
