Lexmoto Zsb (2015)
2015 Lexmoto Zsb
CarHunch analysed 138 real MOT records for the 2015 Lexmoto Zsb. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The Lexmoto ZSB has a first-time MOT pass rate of 71.2%, which is notably below the UK average of 80%, suggesting these bikes are more prone to test failures than typical. Nearly 3 in 10 vehicles (29%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is a significant safety concern for any prospective buyer.
These are low-mileage machines—the median sits at just 5,496 miles—so the high failure rate isn't driven by wear and tear, but rather points to build quality or design issues inherent to the model. With an average of 1.38 failures and 4.3 advisories per vehicle, expect ongoing maintenance headaches; if you're considering one, budget for pre-purchase inspection by a specialist who knows Chinese-market motorcycles.
What to check before buying a 2015 Lexmoto Zsb
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.
- ⚠️ 29% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
