Hyundai Iload MOT Reliability Overview
The Hyundai Iload is a relatively common sight on UK roads, with 18,316 MOT test results recorded in our database spanning 12 manufacture years. It has an overall MOT pass rate of 62.5% and a failure rate of 37.5%, which is around the UK average of approximately 37%.
Based on this data, the Hyundai Iload earns a "Average" reliability rating. The average Hyundai Iload presents for MOT with approximately 85,122 miles on the clock. Manufacture year matters: 2018 models achieve the highest pass rate at 72.1%, while 2010 models have the lowest at 58.5%. This 13.6 percentage point difference suggests notable variation in build quality or component durability across production years.
The most common MOT failure for the Hyundai Iload is Brakes, affecting 49.0% of all tests. 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. The second most common issue is Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment at 28.6%. Tyres rounds out the top three at 21.2%. Together, these top 3 failure categories account for a significant portion of all MOT failures for this model.

💡 What does the warranty cliff mean?
The Hyundai Iload ages relatively gracefully. The failure rate increase of 13% after warranty is below average, suggesting good long-term reliability. Peak failure occurs at age 14 (44.5% fail rate).
Note: pass rates may improve for very old vehicles due to survivorship bias — only well-maintained cars remain on the road.

About Hyundai Iload MOT Data
The Hyundai Iload is a relatively common sight on UK roads, with 18,316 MOT test results recorded in our database spanning 12 manufacture years. It has an overall MOT pass rate of 62.5% and a failure rate of 37.5%, which is around the UK average of approximately 37%.
For Hyundai Iload owners, these results suggest average reliability — some preparation before MOT can improve pass chances. Focus your pre-MOT checks on brakes and lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment 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 Iload is likely to perform.
Brakes — 49.0% of failures
Brakes issues account for 49.0% of MOT failures on the Hyundai Iload. 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).
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment — 28.6% of failures
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment issues account for 28.6% of MOT failures on the Hyundai Iload. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
Tyres — 21.2% of failures
Tyres issues account for 21.2% of MOT failures on the Hyundai Iload. 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.
