Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2013 Hyundai Iload?

The 2013 Hyundai iLoad has a first-time pass rate of 75%, which sits 5 percentage points below the UK average, and nearly half of these vehicles (44.3%) have recorded at least one dangerous defect during their MOT history—a significant concern for a commercial or family workhorse.
