If you own or are considering buying a 2020 Lexmoto Zsx, budget for potential repairs before each MOT. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to motorcycle brakes: 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). With relatively low average mileage of 7,008 miles, many of these vehicles are still in good mechanical condition.
