Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Hyundai I20 Ultimate 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.

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 i20 is a notably reliable proposition, passing its MOT on the first attempt 89.4% of the time—nearly 10 points above the UK average of 80%—with only 4.3% ever recording a dangerous defect, well below concerning levels. The hybrid powertrain shows no weakness, maintaining that strong 89.3% pass rate across the 209 hybrid examples in this cohort.

At 16,118 miles median mileage, these cars are still young and lightly used, which partly explains the clean sheet, but even accounting for low mileage the average of just 0.18 failures per vehicle suggests the i20 is simply well-engineered for its class. When you shop for one, request the full MOT history to check for any pattern of advisories (averaging 0.4 per car), particularly around suspension or brake wear, which would signal harder driving conditions.
