2016 AJS Cadwell 0.1L Petrol · WJ66 VWA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 24 May 2025 at 7,536 miles. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year, where multiple mechanical and electrical failures were recorded. While the 2024 test revealed several significant defects, the lack of any advisories or failures in the most recent inspection suggests that the owner has addressed the previously flagged issues and maintained the machine to a standard operating level. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 754 miles per annum. Data shows a consistent but sparse usage pattern, with only 142 miles recorded between May 2023 and June 2024, and another 697 miles leading up to the most recent test. This low mileage reduces general wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though long periods of inactivity can lead to perished seals, internal brake fluid corrosion, and the degradation of rubber elements that are not captured by mileage alone. A buyer must perform a physical inspection of the components that showed recurring issues in the past. The 2024 failure flagged slight play in the rear wheel bearing and a fluctuation in front brake effort, both of which disappeared in the 2025 record. The drive chain was also noted as excessively loose in both 2023 and 2024, so the current chain should be checked for proper tension and sprocket wear. Additionally, the nearside handlebar was reported as deformed in 2023, requiring a close visual check for structural cracks or alignment issues that might result from a previous impact.
