1,512 real MOT outcomes analysed • 92.3% first-time pass rate

2019 Hyundai Ix20

CarHunch analysed 1,512 real MOT records for the 2019 Hyundai Ix20. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2019 Hyundai ix20 is a reliably robust performer, passing its MOT on the first attempt 92.3% of the time—well above the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are uncommon at just 7.7% of vehicles. This is a genuinely reassuring result for a five-year-old car.

These vehicles are running relatively low mileage for their age (median 18,195 miles), which partly explains the strong pass rate, but the real story is in the minimal failure rate of 0.42 per vehicle on average. When you do get advisories, they're minor (2.3 on average), so factor in small preventative maintenance but don't expect surprise bills—check the service history and you're buying into a straightforward ownership experience.

What to check before buying a 2019 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.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
