Every Hyundai Ix20 model year

Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2010 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Hyundai Ix20:

What this means if you are buying a 2010 Ix20

The 2010 is a weaker year for this model, passing 10.6 points less often than the Hyundai Ix20 average. Some of that is simply age, so compare it against the 2010 figure for all cars above rather than against newer examples. Check the exact car with the free MOT history checker before you buy, and run its VIN and mileage through our free VIN decoder and clocking check.

What a 16-year-old car fails on

A 2010 car is 16 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:

  • Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
  • Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
  • Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
  • Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
  • Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
  • Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested

That is above average, the point where suspension bushes, drop links and exhaust corrosion start showing up as advisories before they become failures. On a 2010 Hyundai Ix20 the average at test was 89,782 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.

The strongest year for this model is 2019 at 93%, and the weakest in our data is 2011 at 63.5%. That 29.5 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2010 car against a newer one tells you very little.
