2020 AJS Modena 125 0.1L Petrol · HJ20 AFY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-05-19 confirming no defects at 7,427 miles. However, a prior failure on 2024-06-04 at the same mileage raises questions about the consistency of the maintenance record. While the latest test indicates stability, the unexplained failure suggests potential unresolved issues that require further investigation. No structural or mechanical faults were recorded in the most recent assessment, but the absence of defect details in the 2024 failure limits definitive conclusions about the vehicle’s condition. The mileage of 7,427 miles over six years equates to approximately 1,238 miles annually, significantly below average for a vehicle of this age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, tyres, and fluid systems. A gap of 11 months between the 2024-06-04 test (5,883 miles) and the 2025-05-19 test (7,427 miles) saw an increase of 1,544 miles, suggesting a recent uptick in use. The sparse MOT history, with no recurring defects, implies minimal mechanical stress but does not rule out hidden issues from long-term storage or underuse. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask gradual degradation. The brake system, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle was stored. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity are less concerning given the clean recent test, but the 2024 failure warrants scrutiny of any unresolved faults. Visual checks for rust, fluid leaks, and tyre condition are essential to confirm the vehicle’s maintenance history aligns with its recorded mileage.
