Lexmoto Xtr MOT Reliability Overview
The Lexmoto Xtr is a niche vehicle in the UK, with 2,291 MOT test results recorded in our database spanning 8 manufacture years. It has an overall MOT pass rate of 54.7% and a failure rate of 45.3%, which is below the UK average of approximately 37%.
Based on this data, the Lexmoto Xtr earns a "Poor" reliability rating. The average Lexmoto Xtr presents for MOT with approximately 9,373 miles on the clock. Manufacture year matters: 2011 models achieve the highest pass rate at 68.9%, while 2018 models have the lowest at 47.6%. This 21.3 percentage point difference suggests notable variation in build quality or component durability across production years.
The most common MOT failure for the Lexmoto Xtr is Motorcycle brakes, affecting 42.6% of all tests. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. The second most common issue is Motorcycle lamps and reflectors at 36.5%. Motorcycle structure and attachments rounds out the top three at 35.1%. Together, these top 3 failure categories account for a significant portion of all MOT failures for this model.

💡 What does the warranty cliff mean?
The Lexmoto Xtr ages relatively gracefully. The failure rate increase of 6% after warranty is below average, suggesting good long-term reliability. Peak failure occurs at age 5 (49.4% fail rate).
Note: pass rates may improve for very old vehicles due to survivorship bias — only well-maintained cars remain on the road.

Use our detailed year-by-year breakdown and failure analysis below to understand how your specific Xtr is likely to perform.
Motorcycle brakes — 42.6% of failures
Motorcycle brakes issues account for 42.6% of MOT failures on the Lexmoto Xtr. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
Motorcycle lamps and reflectors — 36.5% of failures
Motorcycle lamps and reflectors issues account for 36.5% of MOT failures on the Lexmoto Xtr. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
Motorcycle structure and attachments — 35.1% of failures
Motorcycle structure and attachments issues account for 35.1% of MOT failures on the Lexmoto Xtr. Motorcycle structure and attachments issues are a common cause of MOT failure. Regular inspection and maintenance of these components helps ensure your vehicle passes its MOT. Typical repair costs: £100–400. Pre-MOT check: Have this system checked during regular servicing. Look for warning signs like unusual noises, vibrations, or dashboard warning lights.
