43.6% of Hyundai Matrix models that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 39.5% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 2,702). The failure most likely to come back is ‘body, chassis, structure’: 42.7% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Hyundai Matrix cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Hyundai Matrix models tested at age 14, about 43 failed the MOT first time (rough estimate); at age 19, about 48 (rough estimate). These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time (2024).

Does the Hyundai Matrix fail inspections in other countries too?

In the Netherlands, 63.9% of Hyundai Matrix models failed their periodic roadworthiness inspection, against 50.8% for all cars there (2024 by country, n = 5,049 inspections).

Inspections abroad point the same way: in the Netherlands the Hyundai Matrix also fails more often than the national average.

What is the Hyundai Matrix first-time MOT pass rate?

51.9% of first attempts passed in 2024 (3,471 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 3,471 primary tests: 48.11% failed first time and 59.4% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 112.9 is shown separately.
