2019 Hyundai I800 MOT pass rate: 82.1% (5,361 tests)
Is the 2019 I800 getting worse?
Pass rate of 2019-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 81.4% -8.4 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 82.0% -6.4 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 82.8% -4.2 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 2019 I800?
