Honda Cbr 1000 Sp N (2022)
2022 Honda Cbr 1000 Sp N
CarHunch analysed 112 real MOT records for the 2022 Honda Cbr 1000 Sp N. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Honda CBR1000 SP-N has a first-time pass rate of 60.3%, well below the UK average of 80%, which is a red flag for reliability at this early stage of the vehicle's life. The dangerous defect rate of 0.9% is low and not a major concern, but the below-average pass rate suggests these bikes are encountering real problems sooner than expected.
With a median mileage of just 3,859 miles for a two-year-old bike, these are lightly ridden machines, yet they're still failing MOT—pointing to issues unrelated to wear-and-tear, such as design faults or maintenance lapses by owners unfamiliar with sportbike servicing demands. Before buying, insist on a pre-purchase inspection by an independent Honda specialist and verify the service history carefully, as neglected fuel systems or electrical components on high-performance bikes can quickly create MOT failures.
What to check before buying a 2022 Honda Cbr 1000 Sp N
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.
