Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Lexmoto Assault 125?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Lexmoto Assault 125?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Lexmoto Assault 125?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Is the 2022 Lexmoto Assault 125 reliable?

Based on MOT data from 338 vehicles, the 2022 Lexmoto Assault 125 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 78.1%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Lexmoto Assault 125?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

Moderate sample. 338 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

The 2022 Lexmoto Assault 125 is a serious reliability concern: only 32.8% pass their first MOT compared to the UK average of 80%, and with a median CarHunch score of just 40, this bike is among the weakest performers we track. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare at 5.0%, so safety isn't the primary issue—rather, it's routine mechanical and wear problems cropping up early.

At 4,573 miles median, these bikes are still relatively low-mileage, yet they're already racking up problems that shouldn't appear so soon in a motorcycle's life. The average of 0.18 failures and 0.7 advisories per vehicle suggests minor issues are widespread rather than catastrophic, pointing to poor build quality or component durability out of the factory. If you're considering one, budget for early repairs and check the service history carefully—this model needs close attention from day one.

The 2022 Lexmoto Assault 125 passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (78.1%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
