2012 Lexmoto XTR 125-23 0.1L Petrol · WX12 FPG

This Lexmoto XTR 125-23 presents a stable and clean roadworthiness record, with both its most recent MOT in January 2023 and the preceding test in January 2022 passing without any defects at mileages of 7,584 and 2,876 respectively. The absence of advisories or failures over these two tests suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained in critical areas, including brakes, suspension, lighting, and structural integrity. However, the significant gap of over three years since the last MOT—despite the low mileage—raises a practical concern: the vehicle has not been formally inspected since early 2023, leaving potential issues undetected under current UK regulations. The mileage pattern is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, averaging just 542 miles per year over the past decade. While this indicates lighter use or prolonged periods of disuse, it also means key components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs may have degraded slowly but could now show signs of wear beyond typical service intervals. The jump from 2,876 miles in January 2022 to 7,584 miles in January 2023—an increase of 4,708 miles in a single year—suggests either a sudden change in usage or an error in mileage recording. Without further context, this spike warrants closer scrutiny, particularly if the vehicle has been stored or used intermittently, as moisture ingress or corrosion could have developed in less accessible areas. Given the lack of recent MOT scrutiny, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system, including the condition of coil springs, dampers, and bushings, as these are prone to silent degradation in low-mileage vehicles. The brake system—particularly the rear calipers, pads, and discs—should be checked for binding or uneven wear, even though no issues were recorded in the last test. Structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust mounts, is another risk given the vehicle’s age and potential exposure to the elements. While the MOT history is reassuring, the prolonged gap since the last inspection means some wear items may now be due for replacement or require immediate attention.
