Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Lexmoto Tr 125 2 Lxr 125 SE?

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 2021 Lexmoto Tr 125 2 Lxr 125 SE?

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 2021 Lexmoto Tr 125 2 Lxr 125 SE?

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.

Is the 2021 Lexmoto Tr 125 2 Lxr 125 SE reliable?

Based on MOT data from 280 vehicles, the 2021 Lexmoto Tr 125 2 Lxr 125 SE has a first-time MOT pass rate of 79.4%, 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 2021 Lexmoto Tr 125 2 Lxr 125 SE?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

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.

We have limited data for the 2021 Lexmoto Tr 125 2 Lxr 125 SE — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.

⚠️ About 1 in 12 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.
