Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Honda E Advance?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Honda E Advance?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Honda E Advance?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Is the 2022 Honda E Advance reliable?

Based on MOT data from 418 vehicles, the 2022 Honda E Advance has a first-time MOT pass rate of 95%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Honda E Advance?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

Moderate sample. 418 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

The 2022 Honda E Advance is a notably reliable performer, with a 90.9% first-time pass rate that sits 10.9 percentage points above the UK average—and dangerous defects are rare at just 1.4% of vehicles. This electric city car consistently passes its MOT without major issues, suggesting solid build quality in this early production run.

At 13,623 km average mileage, these cars are lightly used for their age, which naturally helps the pass rate, but the real telling detail is the 0.1 average failures per vehicle—owners simply aren't running into costly problems. If you're considering one, check the service history and brake condition (electric cars' regenerative braking can mask wear), but this cohort shows you're buying into a dependable platform.

The 2022 Honda E Advance passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (95% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
