2013 Lexmoto Arizona 125

CarHunch analysed 164 real MOT records for the 2013 Lexmoto Arizona 125. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2013 Lexmoto Arizona 125 struggles significantly in MOT testing, with a first-time pass rate of just 51.2%—nearly 30 percentage points below the UK average of 80%. While the dangerous defect rate of 15.8% isn't alarming, the overall reliability picture is concerning: these bikes are failing their MOTs consistently.

At around 10,000 median miles, these machines are relatively low-mileage for their age, yet they're still averaging 1.03 failures and 3.4 advisories per test. The frequent failures suggest either poor build quality from this budget Chinese manufacturer or widespread neglect by owners, and a buyer should budget for regular repairs or walk away entirely.

What to check before buying a 2013 Lexmoto Arizona 125

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
