Honda Cbr 500 Ra N (2022)
2022 Honda Cbr 500 Ra N
CarHunch analysed 108 real MOT records for the 2022 Honda Cbr 500 Ra N. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Honda CBR 500 RA-N has a first-time pass rate of 73.6%, which sits 6.4 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—a meaningful shortfall that suggests this cohort is slightly more prone to MOT issues than the typical vehicle. The good news is that only 1.8% have ever suffered a dangerous defect, so safety concerns are minimal.
With a median mileage of just 4,311 miles for bikes of this age, these machines are still relatively run-in, yet they're already accumulating an average of 0.3 advisories per vehicle and 0.1 failures—a sign that minor wear items and consumables need attention sooner than you might expect on newer stock. When shopping for one, budget for routine maintenance (brake fluid, chain, pads) and ask the seller for full service history to understand whether the bike has been properly looked after from new.
What to check before buying a 2022 Honda Cbr 500 Ra 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.
