Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Ajs Modena 125?

The 2022 AJS Modena 125 has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 54.1%, significantly below the UK average of 80%, which suggests this model has more teething troubles than most. Dangerous defects are rare at 3.1%, so safety isn't the primary concern—it's the volume of general faults pulling the pass rate down.

At an average mileage of 2,794 miles for a two-year-old bike, these machines are being ridden moderately, yet they're still generating issues: vehicles average 0.1 failures and 0.2 advisories each, indicating recurring small problems rather than catastrophic faults.
