Lexmoto Xtr (2013)
2013 Lexmoto Xtr
CarHunch analysed 121 real MOT records for the 2013 Lexmoto Xtr. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2013 Lexmoto XTR passes its MOT just 71.5% of the time—nearly 9 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—and a concerning 35.5% of these bikes have recorded at least one dangerous defect, which is a significant red flag for safety-critical failures. This is a reliability risk that shouldn't be ignored if you're considering one as your next bike.
With a median mileage of only 7,897 miles for a 12-year-old model, these aren't high-mileage machines, yet they're still averaging 1.12 failures per MOT visit, suggesting inherent design or build quality issues rather than wear-and-tear problems. Before buying, get an independent inspection and factor in that you'll likely need to budget for regular repair work—this isn't a set-and-forget commuter.
What to check before buying a 2013 Lexmoto Xtr

- 📋 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.
