The 2020 Lexus Moto Milano edges past the UK average with an 82.2% first-time pass rate, which is a solid result—though the 19.2% of vehicles that have suffered a dangerous defect is a meaningful red flag worth noting before purchase. Most failures are minor, averaging just 0.56 per vehicle, suggesting the Milano is fundamentally sound when properly maintained.

These bikes are running low mileage for their age (median 1,796 miles), so you're likely to find well-used examples rather than heavily thrashed ones. The average of 1.2 advisories per test indicates routine wear items like chain adjustment or light bulbs are the typical concern—get a pre-purchase inspection done to confirm service history and check that minor items have been kept on top of.
