2019 AJS Tempest Roadster 0.1L Petrol · SB19 JYY

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend despite its low usage. The most recent inspection in August 2025 at 13,488 miles resulted in a pass with a single advisory for a light misting on the nearside front shock absorber. This indicates the beginning of a seal failure rather than an immediate mechanical collapse, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained enough to avoid major failures across the previous testing cycles. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,900 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between June 2022 at 1,806 miles and August 2024 at 9,885 miles, where the vehicle covered over 8,000 miles in a two-year period. While the low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, the intermittent nature of use can sometimes lead to dry seals, flat spots on tyres, or corrosion of brake discs if the bike sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front shock absorber to determine if the misting has progressed into a significant leak that would compromise damping. Given the low mileage and the gap between tests, it is vital to check the brake rotors for surface pitting and to ensure the calipers have not seized due to disuse. The failure of the horn in 2024 was a minor defect rectified quickly, but a thorough check of all electrical components is advisable to ensure no other wiring issues have developed from long-term storage.
