2022 AJS 71 Desert Scrambler 0.1L Petrol · GL22 LZN

The AJS 71 Desert Scrambler holds a current MOT certificate valid until June 2027, following a pass on 16 June 2026 with no recorded defects. This recent result indicates a stable condition, as the previous test on 30 June 2025 also concluded without any advisories or failures. The absence of recorded defects across these two inspections suggests that the vehicle has met the required safety standards during its initial years of testing. The recorded mileage of 630 miles over a four-year period confirms a pattern of very light usage, averaging approximately 158 miles per annum. While this low mileage limits the mechanical wear typically associated with high-frequency operation, it also implies that the motorcycle has experienced extended periods of inactivity. Such storage patterns can sometimes lead to issues with fuel degradation, battery health, or the hardening of rubber seals and hoses that are not captured during a standard MOT inspection. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components prone to deterioration during storage rather than high-mileage wear. Examine the fuel system for signs of stale petrol or internal tank corrosion and check all rubber components, including tyre sidewalls and fork seals, for signs of perishing or cracking. Ensure the braking system operates smoothly, as hydraulic fluid can absorb moisture if left stagnant for long intervals. Verify that the electrical system and charging circuit function correctly, as low-usage vehicles often suffer from battery depletion and subsequent failure.
