The 2016 Hyundai i800 passes its MOT first time in 73.9% of cases—notably below the UK average of 80%—and nearly half of all vehicles tested have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is a significant red flag for prospective buyers. This suggests the model has genuine durability or maintenance issues that go beyond typical wear.
At an average mileage of 66,102 miles for an eight-year-old van, these i800s have been worked fairly hard, and the 2.72 average failures per test hint at neglected servicing rather than design flaw alone. Before buying, insist on a full service history and have any potential purchase independently inspected by a mechanic familiar with these vehicles, since the high failure and dangerous defect rates suggest proper maintenance separates the reliable ones from the problematic ones.
The 2016 Hyundai I800 has a below-average first-time pass rate (73.9% vs ~80% UK average) — check the specific vehicle's full MOT history carefully before buying.
