2019 Lexmoto Hunter 50 E4
CarHunch analysed 256 real MOT records for the 2019 Lexmoto Hunter 50 E4. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Lexmoto Hunter 50 E4 is a concerning buy: just 48.2% pass their MOT first time, nearly 32 percentage points below the UK average of 80%. With 16.8% of vehicles developing dangerous defects at some point, reliability issues aren't minor niggles—they're a genuine safety concern that should weigh heavily in your decision.
These scooters clock up modest mileage for their age (median 4,615 miles), yet still average 0.54 failures and 2.0 advisories per test, suggesting mechanical fragility rather than wear-and-tear problems. Before committing to one, have an independent mechanic inspect the ignition system, brakes, and fuel delivery closely—these are where cheap 50cc scooters typically fail first.
What to check before buying a 2019 Lexmoto Hunter 50 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.
