Hyundai Ioniq Se Connect Hev S-A: MOT pass rate and reliability data

The Hyundai Ioniq Se Connect Hev S-A passes its MOT first time more often than the average UK car, by 13.4 percentage points.

The numbers

What this means if you are buying one

A 90.1% first-time pass rate means roughly 10 in every 100 Hyundai Ioniq Se Connect Hev S-As presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is better than average, so a well-kept example is a reasonably safe used buy. The average Hyundai Ioniq Se Connect Hev S-A tested had covered 53,273 miles and was built around 2020.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. The Hyundai Ioniq Se Connect Hev S-A sits 13.4 points above the national average, ranked 689 of 2,005 models. On one bought as repairable salvage, the mechanical side is less likely to spring surprises, so your repair estimate should hold up reasonably well.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.
