Hyundai Ix20 (2015)
2015 Hyundai Ix20
CarHunch analysed 3,341 real MOT records for the 2015 Hyundai Ix20. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2015 Hyundai ix20 passes its MOT at 85.7%, meaningfully better than the UK average of 80%, which is a solid result for a nearly decade-old family car. However, 30.7% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is significantly higher than typical and represents a genuine buyer concern—you should factor in potential safety-related repair costs.
At 36,286 miles average, these cars show typical mileage for their age, suggesting mostly reasonable usage patterns. The average 1.5 failures per test and 8.3 advisories point to minor wear items rather than structural problems, so budget for routine maintenance but don't expect major surprises—just make sure any used example you're considering gets a pre-purchase inspection focusing on those dangerous defect areas flagged by MOT history.
What to check before buying a 2015 Hyundai Ix20
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 30.7% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
