2019 AJS Modena 125 0.1L Petrol · YA19 DCU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding braking and exhaust components. While the most recent test on 17 June 2026 at 3,084 miles passed, it flagged a pitted and scored rear brake disc and a corroded exhaust. These issues mirror advisories from the 2025 and 2024 tests, indicating that specific mechanical faults are not being addressed despite passing the inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 440 miles per year. Data from the July 2022 test at 1,640 miles to the June 2026 test at 3,084 miles shows the vehicle sits for long periods or undergoes very short journeys. This low usage often explains the presence of surface corrosion on brake discs and the exhaust system, as components do not reach the operating temperatures required to clear moisture or prevent oxidation through frequent friction use. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the rear brake assembly. The recurring pitting and scoring noted on the brake disc across 2024, 2025, and 2026 suggests the surface is degrading, which will eventually compromise braking performance or cause uneven wear. The fluctuation in front brake effort noted in 2022 and most recently in 2026 indicates a potential rotor issue or a caliper fault that requires professional attention to resolve. The exhaust system also requires scrutiny for structural integrity. The corrosion flagged in both 2025 and 2026 is likely to progress toward a leak or structural failure if not replaced. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check for rubber degradation, such as cracking in tyres and hoses, as these components perish through age rather than through mileage on a vehicle that remains stationary for extended periods.
