Hyundai i800 MOT pass rate and common faults
MOT tests in 2025, published 22 Jun 2026. DVSA publishes a new year each summer.
7,916 Hyundai i800 cars had an MOT in 2025 and 62.7% passed first time. That is below what cars of the same ages scored (74.6%).
Find the year your car was first registered below, then check the faults it is most likely to fail on.
Pass rate by year
Each year's first-time pass rate, with a tick for all cars first used that year. Years with fewer than 300 tests, and cars over 20 years old, are left out. Years with 1,000 or more tests link to a page of their own, with that year's common faults.
Common failures
The share of all Hyundai i800 cars tested that failed on, or had fixed at the station, each item. Worth checking before the MOT or before you buy.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Position lamp: not working | 9.0% |
| Headlamp: not working on dipped beam | 5.4% |
| Headlamp aim: projected beam image is obviously incorrect | 4.8% |
| Registration plate lamp(s): inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps | 4.5% |
| Malfunction indicator lamp: inoperative or indicates a malfunction | 4.0% |
| Service brake (roller test): efficiency below requirements | 3.5% |
| Brake pads: less than 1.5 mm thick | 3.0% |
| Headlamp aim: too high | 2.8% |

Common advisories
Advisories are things the tester noticed that were not bad enough to fail. They often turn into failures later. What advisories mean for the next MOT.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Tread depth: worn close to legal limit/worn on edge | 19.3% |
| Brake pads: wearing thin | 12.5% |
| Brake discs: worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened | 9.9% |
| Engine oil leaks: leak, but not excessive | 6.0% |
| Child Seat fitted not allowing full inspection of adult belt | 5.2% |
| Rigid brake pipes: corroded, covered in grease or other material | 4.6% |
| Condition: slightly damaged/cracking or perishing | 4.3% |
| Condition: webbing slightly damaged or frayed | 3.9% |

Typical mileage
Recorded mileage at the MOT. A car well above the range for its age has done more work than most; one far below is worth a closer look at its MOT history.
| Age | Low | Typical | High | All cars, typical |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6-8 years | 51,800 | 69,900 miles | 90,300 | 51,800 |
| 9-11 years | 68,200 | 87,700 miles | 114,300 | 73,500 |
| 12-14 years | 87,000 | 111,300 miles | 137,500 | 91,400 |
| 15-17 years | 94,500 | 114,700 miles | 137,700 | 101,600 |

Reliability and recalls
- No reliability score yet: that needs 20,000 tests on cars aged 3 and over, and the Hyundai i800 had 7,916. Why we set the bar there.
- 1 recall for the Hyundai i800, from the DVSA recalls list.
- Check if a Hyundai has been recalled on GOV.UK, using its registration.
- All Hyundai models and the Hyundai vehicle history check.
