2018 AJS Tempest Scrambler 0.1L Petrol · DX68 BBZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of neglected electrical systems and emerging fluid corrosion. The most recent test on 28 July 2023 at 425 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just two days prior. While the primary failures regarding the horn, lamps, and indicators were rectified immediately, the advisory for slight corrosion on the front and rear artwork hose ferrules suggests that the braking system is beginning to age-related degradation despite the extremely low usage levels. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2018 model, averaging approximately 53 miles per year with a total of 425 miles over eight years. There is a significant two-year gap between the October 2021 test and the July 2023 test, during which the motorcycle covered only fiveion miles. Such long periods of inactivity often lead to the drying of rubber components and the onset of oxidation on metal surfaces, which aligns with the total failure of the lighting circuit observed during that period. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the electrical loom, as the history shows multiple failures related to position lamps, indicators, and stop lights. The recurring nature of these faults suggests potential continuity issues or corroded contacts caused by stagnant storage. Furthermore, the brake hoses should be inspected closely for structural integrity to ensure the corrosion at the ferrules has not progressed to a point of material failure under pressure. Given the low mileage, the tyres and rubber seals should also be checked for flat spotting and cracking, which are common in vehicles that remain stationary for extended durations.
