Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
When viewing this AJS Tempest Roadster, pay close attention to the front suspension. The MOT records from both 2024 and 2025 specifically note a light misting of oil on the offside front shock absorber fork seal. You should check if this has been addressed or if the seal requires replacement to prevent further leakage.
Furthermore, given the 2023 failure regarding a worn and loose drive chain, inspect the current state of the chain and sprockets. Ensure the chain is properly tensioned and shows no signs of excessive wear or 'kinking'. Since a deformed handlebar was noted in 2023, check the alignment of the bars and the integrity of the controls to ensure no further damage was sustained.
As a 124cc petrol machine, running costs are expected to be relatively low. Fuel economy for this engine size is typically high, making it an economical choice for urban commuting.
Maintenance costs will primarily involve routine servicing, chain lubrication, and tyre replacements. Given the recent MOT advisories, you should budget for potential fork seal repairs and drive chain maintenance in the near future. Insurance groups for this engine capacity are generally low, though individual quotes will vary based on rider profile.
First, inspect the front fork assembly. The MOT history shows a recurring advisory for oil misting on the offside front shock absorber seal in both 2024 and 2025. Check for any visible oil residue on the fork stanchions.
Second, examine the drive system. The 2023 MOT failure highlighted a drive chain that was both loose and worn to excess. Verify that the chain is in good condition and that the tension is within manufacturer specifications. Finally, check the lighting system, specifically the dipped beam and headlamp aim, to ensure the issues noted in the 2023 failure have been fully resolved.
This 2020 AJS Tempest Roadster, finished in silver, has covered 15,890 miles since its first registration in June 2020. The MOT history reveals a pattern of issues, including a 2023 failure involving the drive chain, lighting, and handlebars, alongside recurring advisories regarding the offside front shock absorber. The mileage is consistent with moderate use for a small-capacity 124cc motorcycle.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the AJS Tempest Roadster.
