Ajs Modena 125 (2021)
2021 Ajs Modena 125
CarHunch analysed 201 real MOT records for the 2021 Ajs Modena 125. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 AJS Modena 125 passes its MOT first time just 61.7% of the time, significantly below the UK average of 80%, which is a red flag for reliability. Only 6% of these bikes have ever suffered a dangerous defect, so safety issues aren't widespread, but the high failure rate suggests you should budget for repairs and get a pre-purchase inspection.
These machines average just 2,694 miles despite being three years old, pointing to low usage that may actually mask wear from sitting idle. With 0.26 failures and 0.4 advisories per vehicle on average, common issues are relatively minor, but the poor first-time pass rate hints at electrics or carburation problems—have a mechanic familiar with Chinese-built 125cc bikes check the ignition system and fuel delivery before committing.
What to check before buying a 2021 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.
