2011 AJS DD 125 E 08 0.1L Petrol · WX11 ABZ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history is sparse and reflects long periods of inactivity. The most recent test in September 2022 at 5,212 miles resulted in a pass without major failures, indicating the motorcycle was functionally sound at its last inspection. The trend appears stable as the only recorded failure in 2014 regarding a non-functional dipped headlamp was clearly rectified prior to the subsequent pass. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old machine, averaging only approximately 347 miles per year. There is a significant eight-year gap between the 2014 test and the 2022 test, during which the bike covered only 2,509 miles. While this low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, such long intervals of standing often lead to issues with rubber degradation, seized components, and fluid breakdown, which are not always fully captured by a standard MOT test. A buyer must physically inspect the front fork assembly, as the 2022 record flagged pitting on both sliders. Pitting on the fork tubes will eventually compromise the oil seals, leading to oil leaks and degraded suspension performance. Given the low mileage and age, the inspection should also focus on the condition of the tyres for dry rot, the state of the brake lines for corrosion, and the integrity of the fuel tank to ensure that long-term storage has not caused internal rust or varnish buildup.
