1931 AJS 1.1L Petrol · VT 6856

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on June 16, 2025, at 6,786 miles with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a consistent standard of maintenance over the last decade, as the vehicle has repeatedly met minimum safety requirements without any mechanical or structural failures being flagged by the official tester. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 95-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 71 miles per year. There is a significant thirteen-year gap between the June 2012 test and the June 2025 test, during which the vehicle covered only 416 miles. This data suggests the vehicle sits stationary for long periods or is used only for short-distance events rather than as a primary mode of transport. While the low mileage limits wear on drivetrain and suspension components, it introduces risks related to fluid degradation and seized components that an MOT test cannot fully capture. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on components affected by long-term inactivity. Check the brake lines for internal corrosion corrosion or perished rubber hoses, and inspect tyres for cracking or flat spotting despite adequate tread depth. Given the age of the chassis, examine the structural integrity of the frame for deep-seated rust at mounting points and joints. Ensure that all seals and gaskets have not dried out, as the long intervals between use often lead to oil leaks once the engine reaches operating temperature.
