2018 AJS Tempest Roadster 0.1L Petrol · AU68 TZX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the available data, though the history indicates reactive maintenance habits. The most recent recorded test on 22 November 2021 resulted in a pass following an initial failure for the offside front stop lamp. While the vehicle met the minimum legal requirements, the presence of a bent brake lever and worn rear pads suggests that components were only addressed once they threatened compliance rather than through a preventative schedule. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old motorcycle, recording only 5,396 miles which averages to approximately 674 miles per year. This pattern suggests the bike has spent long periods in storage or is used only occasionally. However, there is a significant temporal gap between the 2021 test and the current date of June 2026. This period of inactivity often leads to flat spotted tyres, fluid degradation, and internal corrosion that an MOT record alone does not capture. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the 2021 test flagged rear brake pads near the minimum limit. Given the low mileage, the inspector should check for pitted brake discs or seized calipers caused by inactivity. The bent offside front brake lever noted in the record also requires verification for replacement to ensure structural integrity and ergonomic operation. Additionally, the fork gaiters mentioned in 2021 should be examined for cracking or perish, as rubber components often degrade over time when a vehicle remains stationary.
