Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Hyundai I20 Premium MHEV T Gdi Auto?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

The 2022 Hyundai i20 Premium is a strong performer at MOT, passing first time at 88.8% compared to the UK average of 80%, which suggests above-average build quality and reliability in this cohort. The dangerous defect rate of 4.6% is low and well within acceptable territory for a buyer to ignore.

At just under 20,000 miles on average, these cars are genuinely young and lightly used, so the low failure rate of 0.19 per vehicle is exactly what you'd expect rather than a mark of exceptional durability. The real signal here is that when issues do turn up, they're typically minor—advisory items rather than failures—so budget for routine maintenance but don't expect nasty surprises; if you're considering one, a full pre-purchase inspection will catch anything worth negotiating on.

The 2022 Hyundai I20 Premium MHEV T Gdi Auto passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (90.7% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
