2019 Lexmoto LXR SE 125 SY 125-10 SE 0.1L Petrol · WJ69 LWW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a developing issue with suspension components. The most recent test in November 2024 at 11,950 miles passed despite an advisory for a front shock absorber with reduced damping and slight corrosion on the front forks. This follows a failure in November 2023 where the rear shock absorber was found seized and lacking damping effect. While the vehicle passed after these repairs, the failure of multiple shock absorbers suggests the suspension system is reaching its effective service life. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent but infrequent use, moving from 8,615 miles in October 2022 to 11,950 miles by late 2024. This low usage often implies the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods. Such periods of standing can lead to premature seal degradation and surface corrosion, which aligns with the tester flagging the corrosion on the front fork tubes. A buyer should physically inspect the front end assembly to ensure that the corrosion noted on the forks has not progressed into structural pitting that could compromise the seals. Given the history of shock absorber failures, a thorough check for oil leaks around the fork seals and any inconsistent damping is necessary. The headlamp aim should also be verified to ensure the adjustment made after the 2023 failure remains secure and has not shifted due to vibration.
