Got a specific Honda Cb400nb you're checking out?
The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
The 1982 Honda CB400NB is a motorcycle, not a car, and falls outside the DVLA light-vehicle MOT database used here—motorcycles are tested under a separate DVSA regime with different standards and reporting. This means the pass rate figures in the dataset (63.1%) are not directly comparable to the UK car average of 80%, and should not be used to assess this bike's reliability. What we can say is that among the 108 bikes tested, the average mileage sits at 23,258 miles with a median of 29,304 miles, suggesting these are well-used machines; the very low failure and advisory counts (0.06 and 0.2 per vehicle respectively) hint at robust mechanical simplicity, though the small sample and specialist testing regime limit what we can conclude. If you're considering a CB400NB, look for full MOT history and have a motorcycle specialist inspect it, rather than relying on these figures—age and storage history matter far more for a 40-year-old bike than pass-rate data.
We have 108 1982 Honda Cb400nb vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.
There are a few reasons this can happen:
- Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
- Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
- MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
- Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT

Brake pipes, sills and subframes are the key areas on a vehicle this age — structural rust is hard to spot without getting underneath. A mechanic will check all of this before you commit, and give you a concrete basis to negotiate on price.
