2019 Lexmoto Matador JJ 50 QT-17 0.1L Petrol · WJ19 VVM

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2023 at 6,347 miles showed a pass, yet it highlighted lingering issues including a worn rear tyre and a noisy exhaust. While the critical mechanical failures from the previous year appear to have been addressed, the recurrence of tyre-related faults suggests the owner only replaces components when a failure is imminent rather than following a preventative service schedule. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 6,347 miles represents an average usage of approximately 900 miles per year. This low mileage profile suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to degradation beyond simple wear. Between the November 2022 failure at 5,964 miles and the February 2023 pass at 6,347 miles, the vehicle covered only 383 miles, confirming that it is used infrequently or for short-distance trips. A buyer must physically inspect the suspension and braking system due to the previous failures recorded. The nearside front shock absorber failed with a serious fluid leak, and the rear brake discs and pads were found to be at critical wear limits in 2022. You should check for signs of seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals common in low-mileage vehicles that sit frequently. The noisy exhaust noted in the 2023 test also warrants an investigation into loose mounting brackets or internal corrosion to ensure the system remains structurally sound.
