The 2019 Lexus Moto Michigan falls short of the UK average with a first-time MOT pass rate of 75.6% versus the national 80%, and that's concerning given the 28.3% of vehicles that have recorded dangerous defects—well above the typical threshold. This combination suggests reliability issues that go beyond minor wear and tear.

These bikes are running low mileage for their age (median 5,609 miles), yet they're averaging nearly one failure per vehicle and 3.4 advisories each, indicating problems emerging early rather than from hard use. Before buying, request full MOT history and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on what those dangerous defects were, since they're unusually prevalent in this cohort.

We have limited data for the 2019 Lexmoto Michigan — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 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.
