Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2019 Lexmoto Milano?

The 2019 Lexus Moto Milano matches the UK average first-time pass rate at 80.1%, but nearly a quarter of these bikes have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—that's a notable concern for safety-conscious buyers. With an average of 0.82 failures and 1.5 advisories per vehicle, the Milano isn't trouble-free, and the median score of 50 suggests middling reliability overall.

These 111 machines show relatively modest mileage for a five-year-old bike, averaging 3,236 miles, which is actually low—most are well-used commuters or weekend riders rather than high-milers. Before buying, get a full pre-purchase inspection focusing on brake and electrical systems, since advisories cluster there, and check the service history carefully given the 24% dangerous defect rate.

We have limited data for the 2019 Lexmoto Milano — 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.
