BMW S 1000 (2022)
2022 BMW S 1000
CarHunch analysed 244 real MOT records for the 2022 BMW S 1000. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 BMW S 1000 is exceptionally reliable, passing its MOT on the first attempt 98% of the time—well above the UK average of 80%. Dangerous defects are virtually absent at just 1.2%, so safety isn't a concern for this cohort.
With median mileage of just under 8,000 miles, these bikes are still very young and lightly used, which explains the near-perfect pass rate. The average of 0.04 failures and 0.2 advisories per vehicle confirms this is a well-built machine that rarely develops problems early in life—but before committing your money, have any prospective purchase inspected by a BMW specialist, since a single defect on a bike at this price point matters far more than it would on a family car.
What to check before buying a 2022 BMW S 1000
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
