This 2017 Lexmoto Adrenaline 125 EFi matches the UK average first-time pass rate at 80.1%, which is solid for a budget commuter bike, but nearly a quarter of vehicles in this cohort (23.2%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—a concern worth taking seriously before purchase. The median score of 40 suggests moderate reliability when you account for the full picture of failures and advisories.

These bikes are running relatively light at a median of 4,186 miles despite being seven years old, indicating many are either lightly used or have been replaced in owners' fleets. The average vehicle racked up 0.7 failures and 4.0 advisories across its test history, pointing to wear issues rather than catastrophic problems—typical for an affordable learner bike. Get a pre-purchase inspection focused on brakes, lights, and chassis integrity, since minor defects are common but the dangerous defect rate means mechanical shortcuts have caught owners out before.
