This 2017 Lexmoto Hawk 125 is a significantly weaker MOT performer than the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of just 41% against the national benchmark of 80%—that's a major red flag for reliability. The dangerous defect rate of 12.6% is moderate but worth noting, meaning roughly one in eight of these bikes have experienced a serious safety issue at some point.

At a median mileage of 4,585 miles for a seven-year-old bike, these machines are running relatively low, yet they're still accumulating an average of 0.48 failures per test, suggesting inherent build or design problems rather than wear-and-tear. With 2.2 advisories per vehicle on average, expect regular niggly issues. Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection by a competent mechanic who knows Chinese-market commuter bikes, and budget for remedial work on electrics, braking, and frame components.

We have limited data for the 2017 Lexmoto Hawk 125 Xgj 125 28 — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.

⚠️ Around 1 in 8 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.
