2019 Lexmoto Tempest 125 LJ 125-9A 0.1L Petrol · WJ19 VTZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy certificate, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the latest test in December 2024 at 1 mile passed, it followed a failure just two weeks prior for critical safety issues including a binding rear brake and lighting failures. The trend shows recurring mechanical faults like the steering headbearing and wheel bearings failing repeatedly across multiple years, suggesting that these core assemblies are only addressed once they reach a point of inspection failure. The mileage profile is highly irregular for a seven-year-old motorcycle. The bike covered 3,022 miles between July 2022 and October 2023, yet recorded only one mile between October 2023 and December 2024. This indicates the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods over the last year. Such inactivity often leads to the degradation of rubber components, evidenced by the perished fuel cap seal and shock absorber leaks noted in the 2022 records, despite the low overall usage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the wheel bearings and steering headset, as these have been flagged for excessive play or stiffness in almost every test recorded. The braking system shows a history of neglect, with thin pads, worn discs, and contaminated components appearing in previous failures. Given the drive chain has been flagged as worn or loose on multiple occasions, it should be checked for significant stretch and rust resulting from the long periods of stationary storage. Additionally, the fuel system seals should be inspected for cracking or leaks due to lack of use.
