Lexmoto Arrow 125 (2011)
2011 Lexmoto Arrow 125
CarHunch analysed 110 real MOT records for the 2011 Lexmoto Arrow 125. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2011 Lexmoto Arrow 125 passes its MOT first time in only 40% of cases, well below the UK average of 80%—a red flag that suggests mechanical fragility or poor build quality from the outset. With 12.7% of vehicles having recorded dangerous defects, this isn't a bike to buy without a full pre-purchase inspection.
These machines show relatively low mileage for their age (median 7,674 miles), yet still rack up an average of 1.01 failures and 3.5 advisories per test, pointing to age-related deterioration and component fatigue rather than hard use. If you're considering one, budget for immediate repairs and find a mechanic who knows Chinese-market bikes well—the high failure rate suggests these need hands-on expertise to keep roadworthy.
What to check before buying a 2011 Lexmoto Arrow 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.
