About Hyundai 4x4 MOT Data
The Hyundai 4x4 is a rare vehicle in the UK, with 39 MOT test results recorded in our database spanning 0 manufacture years. It has an overall MOT pass rate of 48.7% and a failure rate of 51.3%, which is significantly below the UK average of approximately 37%.
For Hyundai 4x4 owners, these results suggest above-average failure risk — thorough pre-MOT checks are recommended. Focus your pre-MOT checks on suspension and brakes for the best chance of a first-time pass. Use our detailed year-by-year breakdown and failure analysis below to understand how your specific 4x4 is likely to perform.
Suspension — 43.6% of failures
Suspension issues account for 43.6% of MOT failures on the Hyundai 4x4. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
Brakes — 43.6% of failures
Brakes issues account for 43.6% of MOT failures on the Hyundai 4x4. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
Tyres — 38.5% of failures
Tyres issues account for 38.5% of MOT failures on the Hyundai 4x4. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures. Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.
