The 2021 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 struggles at MOT, with a 71.3% first-time pass rate that sits nearly 9 percentage points below the UK average of 80%. Dangerous defects are rare at just 0.8%, so safety isn't the primary concern—rather, these bikes are returning with various issues that need sorting before they can pass.

With a median mileage of only 2,661 miles, these are relatively low-use machines, yet they're still failing more often than average, which suggests design or build quality issues rather than wear-and-tear problems. The 0.13 average failures and 0.3 advisories per bike indicate scattered minor issues across the fleet; if you're considering one, budget for a pre-purchase inspection and expect potential remedial work even on lower-mileage examples.
