Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Hyundai Bayon SE Connect T Gdi MHEV A?

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.

This 2022 Hyundai Bayon is a genuinely reliable performer, with an 87.3% first-time MOT pass rate that sits 7.3 points above the UK average of 80%—and only 3.5% of these vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low. The hybrid powertrain appears to be holding up well across the board, with no meaningful reliability split to worry about.

At just under 22,000 miles average for a two-year-old car, these Bayons are running at typical mileage, and the low failure and advisory counts (0.21 failures and 0.6 advisories per vehicle respectively) suggest owners aren't facing expensive surprise repairs. If you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection is still sensible, but this cohort tells you the model is fundamentally sound—focus your negotiation on service history and any accident damage rather than mechanical concerns.

The 2022 Hyundai Bayon SE Connect T Gdi MHEV A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (90.1% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
