2012 Hyundai I800 MOT pass rate: 63.8% (2,799 tests)
Is the 2012 I800 getting worse?
Pass rate of 2012-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 66.3% -6.1 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 62.7% -8.3 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 62.2% -8.0 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

What mileage is too high for a 2012 I800?
