2018 AJS Tempest Roadster 0.1L Petrol · SY68 WWF

The 2018 AJS Tempest Roadster presents a stable and unblemished roadworthiness record. The sole MOT test on file, conducted on 22 April 2022 at 592 miles, resulted in a clean pass with zero defects, advisories, or failures recorded. This single data point indicates the vehicle met all DVSA safety and emissions standards at that time. However, the record is now over four years old, meaning the car has no current valid MOT certificate as of June 2026. A fresh test would be required to confirm its present condition before any road use. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low. The vehicle has covered just 592 miles over approximately eight years of registered existence, averaging roughly 74 miles per year. The record shows no subsequent MOT entries to indicate whether the odometer has advanced since April 2022. Such minimal annual use raises the possibility of prolonged stationary periods, which can lead to deteriorated rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, stale fuel, and surface corrosion on brake discs and suspension seals despite the low mileage. A buyer should treat this vehicle as mechanically unproven beyond its 2022 test. The clean pass at 592 miles tells nothing about component longevity or how the machine has been stored since. A thorough in-person inspection must focus on perishable rubber items, including tyre sidewalls, suspension bushes, and brake hoses, all of which degrade with age and inactivity rather than mileage. Fuel system condition, chain or belt tension, and the presence of corrosion on the exhaust, fasteners, and frame should be closely examined. Given the complete absence of any recurring fault data, there is no evidence of worsening mechanical trends. The risk here is not one of documented neglect but of unknown storage conditions. A prospective buyer should commission a fresh MOT or, ideally, a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with low-mileage motorcycles before committing to the purchase.
