2011 Honda Cbr 600 Rr B

CarHunch analysed 115 real MOT records for the 2011 Honda Cbr 600 Rr B. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2011 Honda CBR 600 RR-B has a first-time MOT pass rate of 62.5%, well below the UK average of 80%, which signals reliability concerns for a bike now approaching 14 years old. The dangerous defect rate of 7.8% is low enough not to be a major red flag, but nearly four in ten bikes will fail their MOT, so budget for repairs.

At a median mileage of 8,462 miles for the age, these are relatively lightly used sportsbikes, yet they're still averaging 0.52 failures and 2.0 advisories per test—suggesting wear items like brakes, suspension, and exhausts need regular attention. If you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the running gear and make sure service history is complete, because this model needs proper maintenance to pass its MOT.

What to check before buying a 2011 Honda Cbr 600 Rr B

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.
