2022 KTM 890 Duke 22

CarHunch analysed 114 real MOT records for the 2022 KTM 890 Duke 22. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 KTM 890 DUKE 22 falls short of the UK average with a 71.4% first-time pass rate against the typical 80%, which suggests these bikes need more attention to pass their first MOT attempt. The dangerous defect rate sits at a reassuring 2.6%, so structural safety issues are uncommon.

With a median mileage of just 5,100 miles for bikes that should be around two years old, these machines are running low and haven't accumulated serious wear yet—yet they're still failing at above-average rates, pointing to maintenance or setup gaps rather than age-related decay. If you're considering one, factor in a pre-purchase inspection by a KTM-trained technician to catch any common niggles before they become MOT failures.

What to check before buying a 2022 KTM 890 Duke 22

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.
