Moderate sample. 313 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2022 Hyundai i30 hybrid is underperforming on its first MOT attempt, with a 70% pass rate sitting 10 percentage points below the UK average—meaning roughly three in ten of these cars fail their test. The good news is that dangerous defects are rare at 2.9%, so safety isn't a major concern, though the modest failure rate suggests some owners will face unexpected repair bills early in ownership.

At just under 32,000 miles median mileage, these vehicles are still relatively young and lightly driven, yet they're averaging 0.12 failures per car, indicating the failures aren't simply down to accumulated wear. The real story is in the advisories: 0.8 per vehicle suggests minor wear items are emerging earlier than expected for a hybrid that should theoretically have easier running costs. Before buying one, request the full MOT history to see what's actually failing—this will tell you whether the issues are consistent across the batch or isolated to neglected examples.

The 2022 Hyundai I30 SE Connect MHEV T Gdi passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (92.8% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
