2017 AJS Tempest Roadster 0.1L Petrol · LD67 WZP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean passes in recent years. The most recent test conducted in December 2023 at 1,566 miles resulted in no recorded defects, maintaining the clean record established in previous years. The only recorded failure in October 2020 for a low front headlamp aim was a minor adjustment rectified immediately as evidenced by the pass on the same day. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 174 miles per year. Between October 2020 and December 2023, the vehicle covered only 294 miles, indicating it spends long periods in storage rather than in active use. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on mechanical components like the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between use often introduce specific risks not captured by mileage, such as perished rubber components, corrosion on brake surfaces, or the degradation of fluid seals. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components most affected by long-term storage rather than mileage-related wear and tear. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, and check the brake fluid for moisture contamination and the discs for corrosion. Given the low mileage, verify the integrity of the fuel lines and fork seals to ensure they have not become brittle or perished. The structural integrity should also be checked for any signs of surface rust that can develop when a vehicle remains stationary for extended periods.
