Lxr 125 Sy 125-10: a below-average pass rate worth digging into

Across 1,332 MOT tests, the Lxr 125 Sy 125-10 returns 68.5% first-time pass — well below the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is headlamp aim out of spec. A non-functioning shock absorber and a missing rear reflector round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 7,217, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through. If you own one and the next test is close, the ranked list below is a sensible pre-test checklist.
