This Street Bob is slightly below the UK average, with a 78.3% first-time pass rate compared to 80% nationally—nothing alarming, but it suggests these bikes need attention before their MOT. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare, affecting only 6.2% of the cohort, so safety-critical issues aren't a widespread concern for the model.

These motorcycles are averaging just over 7,100 miles, which is modest for a 2018, indicating many are weekend or leisure bikes rather than hard-worked commuters. The low failure count of 0.29 per vehicle is encouraging, though the 1.6 advisories per bike suggest routine wear items—likely brake pads, chains, and lights—so budget for preventative maintenance before your MOT appointment.
