2015 Lexmoto Venom 125 Sk 125 22

CarHunch analysed 190 real MOT records for the 2015 Lexmoto Venom 125 Sk 125 22. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2015 Lexmoto Venom 125 is exceptionally unreliable on test — only 1.3% pass first time, against an 80% UK average, which means nearly all examples fail their MOT. The dangerous defect rate of 0.5% is mercifully low, but the near-total failure pattern makes this a serious buyer concern regardless.

These are low-mileage bikes (median 11,236 miles for a nine-year-old machine), suggesting many are either garage queens or have been ridden very little, yet they still fail almost universally — this points to design or build quality issues rather than wear and tear. Before buying any 2015 Venom, have an independent technician inspect the ignition, electrics, and frame welds, because the pass rate suggests systemic rather than random problems.

What to check before buying a 2015 Lexmoto Venom 125 Sk 125 22

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.
