ADAREP will give information on “Last Update” and ADABAS shutdown statistics will give information on “Distribution of commands by file”.  
Command logging is not enabled for the database.  
I would like to know if there is a way to determine the Last Read on a file.

No, there isn’t.

What benefit would this information provide to you ?

There is a request to check ADACHK for all files in a database.  
Checking if any files can be omitted if not updated/read for a long time.
