CarHunch analysed 211 real MOT records for the 2018 Lexmoto Fmr 125 Efi Wy 125 T 74r E4. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2018 Lexmoto FMR 125 is a significant reliability concern, with a first-time MOT pass rate of just 47.6%—well below the UK average of 80%—and nearly one in five owners (19.4%) having encountered a dangerous defect. This budget 125cc commuter bike is failing its MOT at twice the national rate, which suggests either poor build quality or early-life durability issues that affect the majority of these machines.
At an average mileage of 10,626 miles, these bikes are still relatively young when tested, yet they're averaging 0.46 failures per vehicle and 1.7 advisories each, indicating teething problems rather than age-related wear. If you're considering one, budget for repair work before or shortly after your first MOT, and seriously consider whether the cost of remedial work undermines the savings of buying this brand.
What to check before buying a 2018 Lexmoto Fmr 125 Efi Wy 125 T 74r E4
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.
