2021 Lexmoto Tr 125 2 Lxr 125 SE

CarHunch analysed 280 real MOT records for the 2021 Lexmoto Tr 125 2 Lxr 125 SE. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This Lexmoto struggles badly at MOT, with just 50.7% passing first time against the UK average of 80%—that's a major reliability red flag for a bike that's only averaging 5,365 miles. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare at 8.9%, but the median score of 50 reflects consistent minor issues: these machines average 0.35 failures and 1.2 advisories per test, suggesting they need regular attention to stay roadworthy.

At under 5,000 miles median mileage, these bikes are relatively lightly used, yet still failing MOT at twice the normal rate—this points to build or design issues rather than wear and tear. If you're considering one, budget for pre-purchase inspection by a specialist and expect to factor in remedial work; this isn't a "buy and ride" proposition.

What to check before buying a 2021 Lexmoto Tr 125 2 Lxr 125 SE

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.
