Ajs Modena 125 (2015)
2015 Ajs Modena 125
CarHunch analysed 146 real MOT records for the 2015 Ajs Modena 125. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2015 AJS Modena 125 is a serious reliability concern, with a first-time pass rate of just 11.1% against the UK average of 80%—meaning nine out of ten examples fail their MOT. The petrol-only cohort performs even worse at 0.9%, and while dangerous defects are absent, the near-universal failure rate suggests systematic issues that buyers should treat as disqualifying.
The low average mileage of 7,627 miles indicates these are lightly-used machines, yet the catastrophic pass rate means age and storage conditions—not wear—are likely culprits; corrosion, fuel system gumming, and electrical gremlins are typical of neglected small-displacement bikes. Before committing to this model, get a trusted mechanic to inspect any candidate in person, because an MOT failure this consistent points to design or build-quality problems no amount of maintenance can easily fix.
What to check before buying a 2015 Ajs Modena 125
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
