Lexmoto Stockrider 125 (2012)
2012 Lexmoto Stockrider 125
CarHunch analysed 136 real MOT records for the 2012 Lexmoto Stockrider 125. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2012 Lexmoto Stockrider 125 is a genuinely unreliable bike by UK standards—just 45.1% pass their MOT first time, against the 80% average—and while dangerous defects only show up in 13.2% of vehicles, the pattern suggests consistent build or maintenance issues rather than a one-off problem. This is not a bike you'd buy expecting hassle-free ownership.
The median mileage of 7,356 miles for a 12-year-old machine is low, which actually makes the poor pass rate more concerning: even lightly-ridden examples are failing badly. With 0.84 failures and 2.5 advisories per vehicle on average, these bikes rack up real repair costs fast. Before buying one, budget for a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist mechanic and factor in regular maintenance—these figures suggest cutting corners on build quality rather than owner neglect.
What to check before buying a 2012 Lexmoto Stockrider 125
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.
