The 2014 Hyundai i800 passes its MOT on first attempt just 76% of the time—4 percentage points below the UK average—and nearly half of these vehicles (47.8%) have recorded at least one dangerous defect, which is a significant safety concern for a family van. This suggests the i800 is more prone to serious mechanical issues than most cars its age.

At 69,000 miles median mileage, these vans are relatively lightly used for a decade-old vehicle, yet they're still averaging 3 failures per test and 14.4 advisories, pointing to wear in both major and minor systems. Before buying, have any used i800 inspected by a mechanic who knows Hyundais—the failure and dangerous defect rates mean checking suspension, brakes, and structural integrity is essential rather than optional.
