2022 Hyundai I20 Element T Gdi
CarHunch analysed 134 real MOT records for the 2022 Hyundai I20 Element T Gdi. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Hyundai i20 Element T-GDI is a strong performer with a 92.7% first-time MOT pass rate, well above the UK average of 80%, and only 2.2% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect—a reassuringly low figure. This petrol model shows consistent reliability across the sample, with 92.3% pass rate among the 127 petrol examples tested.
At just over 21,500 miles median mileage for a two-year-old car, these vehicles are running well within expected wear parameters, and the low average of 0.16 failures per vehicle suggests few mechanical problems are emerging. When failures do occur, advisories average 0.6 per car, typically pointing to minor wear items rather than structural issues—so if you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection focusing on routine maintenance history is your main priority rather than mechanical concern.
What to check before buying a 2022 Hyundai I20 Element T Gdi
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.
