2019 AJS Modena 125 0.1L Petrol · PE19 ORL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from severe neglect to basic reactive repairs. The most recent test in July 2025 at 418 miles passed with only minor lighting defects related to headlamp intensity and a defective reflector. This represents a significant improvement over the catastrophic failure in June 2022 where the bike presented multiple critical safety and mechanical faults. While the current status is stable, the history indicates intermittent maintenance rather than preventative servicing. The mileage pattern is highly irregular for a seven-year-old motorcycle, averaging only 60 miles per year. There is a glaring discrepancy in usage between the July 2023 test at 11,313 miles and the July 2025 test at 418 miles, suggesting the vehicle likely sat stationary for long periods or the odometer reading has been altered. Such extremely low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid quality, which is consistent with the corrosion noted on the brake linkage and rear structure during the 2024 test. A buyer must physically inspect the braking system and structural components due to recurring issues in these areas. The 2022 failure revealed severe front brake binding, thin pads, and a fuel leak, while the 2024 test noted continued corrosion on the brake linkage. The offside rear shock absorber also showed oil misting in 2024, which should be monitored for worsening seal failure. Given the structural corrosion flagged on the rear motorcycle frame in 2024, a close inspection of the frame integrity is essential to ensure rust has not progressed despite the low mileage.
