Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Lexmoto Zs 1500 D 2?

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 Zs 1500 D 2?

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 Zs 1500 D 2?

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 Zs 1500 D 2 reliable?

Based on MOT data from 109 vehicles, the 2021 Lexmoto Zs 1500 D 2 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 91.1%, 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 Zs 1500 D 2?

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 2021 Lexmoto is a serious reliability concern: only 48.5% pass their MOT first time, nearly 32 percentage points below the UK average of 80%. With a dangerous defect rate of 5.5%, these machines are failing on safety-critical systems at a meaningful rate for a vehicle this young.

The median mileage of just 1,671 miles tells the real story—these bikes aren't clocking up distance, yet still can't pass testing, suggesting fundamental design or build quality issues rather than wear-and-tear problems. If you're considering one, budget for early mechanical failures and run a thorough pre-purchase inspection, or look at an alternative brand with a proven track record.

We have limited data for the 2021 Lexmoto Zs 1500 D 2 — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.

⚠️ Around 1 in 20 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.
