Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2014 Hyundai Iload?

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.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2014 Hyundai Iload?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2014 Hyundai Iload?

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.

The 2014 Hyundai iLoad falls slightly below the UK average with a 76.3% first-time pass rate, and that's a meaningful concern—40.5% of these vans have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, well above acceptable levels. This suggests structural or safety weaknesses that go beyond normal wear and tear.

At around 77,700 miles median, these vans are averaging reasonable mileage for their age, but they're racking up 2.73 failures per test and 11.2 advisories, pointing to persistent mechanical issues rather than one-off problems. Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on brake condition, suspension geometry, and any history of serious faults—the data suggests this model needs closer scrutiny than most.

Watch for defects — worth knowing

What tends to go wrong

Across 158 vehicles — figures show how many had each issue flagged at least once in their MOT history.

Brake wear 49.5%

Front Brake pad(s) wearing thin · Parking brake efficiency below requirements · Rear Brake pad(s) wearing thin · …

Suspension & steering 21.5%

Offside Rear Leaf spring fractured

Harder to spot without a ramp — this is a good reason to book a pre-purchase inspection.

Lighting 20.7%

Nearside Front Position lamp not working · Nearside Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources · Offside Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources · …
