How Hyundai models compare on the MOT
The spread across Hyundai models is wide — 94.4% for the Santa Fe Ultimate at the top and 68.4% for the Coupe at the bottom, a 26.0-point gap across 2,049 and 23,404 recorded tests respectively. Most Hyundai models sit much closer to the middle (around 82.8%, on 856,114 tests for the I10). The best and worst are both real DVSA results, not opinions: the pass rate is the share of every completed MOT test for that model that ended in a pass.
Every figure above is drawn from the DVSA's class-4 MOT records for the 2000–2024 data years: 3,165,916 tests across 54 Hyundai models. A pass rate counts every completed test — first attempt and retests — so the figures above include a van or motorhome being tested twice in one year. The first-time pass figures on each model page are lower as a result. See the methodology page for exactly how each rate is calculated and how the DVSA source data is filtered.
