Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2020 Lexmoto Urban 125 Lj 125 T 16?

This 2020 LEXMOTO URBAN 125 is a poor reliability prospect: only 47% pass first time against the UK average of 80%, and one in ten have recorded a dangerous defect. For a four-year-old 125cc commuter bike, the median mileage of 7,909 miles is reasonable, but the typical vehicle racks up an average of 1.0 advisory per test, suggesting persistent minor issues that stack up over time. The low pass rate isn't explained by heavy use alone—these bikes are running relatively light miles—which points to quality control or maintenance problems inherent to the model. If you're considering one, budget for regular remedial work and get a pre-purchase inspection focused on brakes, lights, and emissions systems.
