How rivals compare

same type, similar capacity, high test volume

On first-time pass rate the HT beats 0 of its 4 closest rivals (PIAGGIO VESPA, HONDA PCX 125, HONDA Vision 110).

PIAGGIO VESPA 80.7% pass · 287k tests HONDA PCX 125 81.1% pass · 88.6k tests HONDA Vision 110 78.2% pass · 50.6k tests YAMAHA NMAX 125 82.2% pass · 33.8k tests

Rivals share this bike's type and sit within ±30% of its engine capacity, ≥ 5,000 tests. Card colour = better/worse first-time pass rate than the HT.

Pass rate by registration year

how each model-year cohort fares · registration year from first use date

Best year to buy used: 2015 (62.3% pass). Weakest: 2013 (54.3%).

First-time pass rate by the year each bike was first registered (cohorts with ≥ 50 tests). Older cohorts are survivors: the worst examples have already left the road, which tends to lift the earliest years.

Is the LEXMOTO HT reliable?

The LEXMOTO HT is less reliable than average for its class: 59.8% of its 1,240 MOT tests (2005–2025) passed first time, against a class average of 73.4%. That ranks it #5221 of 5426 models.

What does a HT fail its MOT on most?

lamps and reflectors — 29% of all defects recorded against failed HT tests.

What is the best year of HT to buy used?

By first-time pass rate, 2015-registered examples do best (62.3%) and 2013 worst (54.3%). Condition and history still trump the year.

How many miles will a HT last?

The median HT shows 6,008 miles at test, and examples around 20k miles still pass 44.4% of the time — mileage alone rarely kills one.
