Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2018 Lexmoto Tekken 125 Mh 125 Gy 15?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2018 Lexmoto Tekken 125 Mh 125 Gy 15?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2018 Lexmoto Tekken 125 Mh 125 Gy 15?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Based on MOT data from 125 vehicles, the 2018 Lexmoto Tekken 125 Mh 125 Gy 15 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 76.7%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2018 Lexmoto Tekken 125 Mh 125 Gy 15?

This 2018 Lexmoto Tekken 125 has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 46.6%, well below the UK average of 80%, making it a significantly less reliable choice than most comparable bikes. Nearly one in five of these machines (19.2%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is a legitimate safety concern for buyers.

At an average mileage of 7,180 km, these bikes are running reasonably light for their age, yet they're still generating an average of 0.49 failures and 2.2 advisories per test—suggesting mechanical issues emerge early rather than from heavy use. Before committing to this model, insist on a full pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic and factor in regular maintenance costs, as the data points to persistent design or build-quality problems rather than owner neglect.
