The Ajs Jsm has an overall MOT pass rate of 67.0% across 926 real MOT tests — roughly in line with the UK average.
On the safety side, the most frequently flagged dangerous fault is handlebar grip insecure to handlebar. Dangerous faults cause an immediate MOT failure and mean the vehicle is not roadworthy until repaired. If you're viewing a Ajs Jsm with an expired or recently passed MOT, ask the seller whether any dangerous faults were found and fixed during the last test.
A typical Ajs Jsm owner drives around 621 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.
In terms of longevity, most Ajs Jsm models stay on UK roads for around 12 years. If you're buying one that's already approaching that window, the data suggests it has plenty of life left provided it's been maintained.
Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
