Moderate sample. 330 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2017 Lexmoto Titan 125 has a 60.6% first-time pass rate—significantly below the 80% UK average—which suggests reliability issues are fairly common on these bikes. The dangerous defect rate of 13.3% is moderate, but combined with the low pass rate, it signals you should budget for regular maintenance and inspections.

With a median mileage of only 8,680 miles for a seven-year-old bike, these machines aren't being ridden hard, yet they still fail MOT at a high rate—pointing to age-related wear and build quality rather than abuse. Expect around 0.46 failures and 1.9 advisories per test on average; before buying, have an independent mechanic check the brakes, electrics, and exhaust system, as these areas tend to be the weak points on budget 125cc bikes.

The 2017 Lexmoto Titan 125 Zn 125 T 8f passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (85.1% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.

⚠️ Around 1 in 8 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.

For context
✅ Good baseline reliability. A 85.1% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.
🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 1.9 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.
🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 330 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
