2010 AJS DD 0.1L Petrol · NK60 DHO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 22, 2026, at 2,039 miles, but the recent maintenance trend shows instability regarding critical safety components. A significant failure occurred just four days prior at 2,034 miles due to an insecure rear brake caliper and incorrect headlamp aim. While these specific issues were rectified to achieve the recent pass, the history suggests that the vehicle is subject to reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old motorcycle, averaging only approximately 127 miles per year. The data shows vast gaps in usage, with the vehicle covering only 10 miles between March 2024 and April 2025. This low-frequency use often indicates long periods of storage, which reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components but significantly increases the risk of age-related degradation such as perished seals, seized components, and fluid breakdown that are not always captured by mileage readings alone. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the steering headbearing, which was flagged for free play in both March 2024 and April 2025. Although the vehicle passed its most recent test, the recurring nature of this fault suggests the bearing may be nearing the end or was poorly adjusted. Furthermore, the rear brake caliper mounting requires physical verification to ensure the April 2026 failure was properly corrected and that the bolts remain secure. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for corrosion on brake discs and cracks in the tyres, which are common in vehicles left stationary for extended periods.
