Hyundai H100 MOT Failures
An analysis of 831 real DVSA MOT tests on the Hyundai H100 — what fails, how often, and how that compares to every other car on UK roads.
Where the Hyundai H100 fails its MOT
The single biggest MOT failure point on the Hyundai H100 is vehicle structure corroded to the extent that t... — this model is 15 times more likely to fail on this item than the average car on UK roads. That makes it worth watching for anyone buying or owning this model. Across 831 MOT tests, 13.9% of all Hyundai H100 tests recorded this as a failure.
Bodywork failures usually mean structural corrosion — not cosmetic rust, but rot that affects the car's structural integrity. Check sills, subframes, and chassis rails carefully, especially on older examples.
Other notable weak points include abs fault (12x the fleet average), coil springs broken (77x the fleet average), structural corrosion (18x the fleet average), and anti-roll bar links worn (11x the fleet average). These ratios compare the Hyundai H100's failure rate on each item against the national average for all cars tested — a ratio of 10x means this model fails ten times more often than a typical car.
The failures span 3 categories: Bodywork, Suspension, Seatbelts & Airbags. If you're inspecting a Hyundai H100 before purchase, these are the areas to focus on — and if any have been flagged as advisories on a previous MOT, they're likely to become failures in the near future.
How failures change with mileage
The Hyundai H100's weak points shift as the car covers more miles. Understanding these patterns helps you know what to expect — and what to budget for — at each stage of ownership.
60,000 to 100,000 miles
This is where routine wear items start to show up. Brake components, tyres, and exhaust parts have done serious work by this point. Cars that have been well serviced will show fewer of these failures — this mileage band is where good maintenance really separates the well-kept from the neglected.
For the Hyundai H100 specifically, the DVSA data shows the most common failures at this mileage are vehicle structure corroded to the extent that t... (15x the average) and abs fault (12x). anti-roll bar links worn (11x) and anti-roll bar links worn also appear frequently.
Over 100,000 miles
High-mileage cars accumulate failures across multiple systems. The key question isn't whether things will need doing — they will — but whether the car has been maintained well enough to keep on top of them. Look for a consistent service history and recent MOT passes with minimal advisories.
For the Hyundai H100 specifically, the DVSA data shows the most common failures at this mileage are coil springs broken (77x the average) and structural corrosion (18x). vehicle structure corroded to the extent that t... (9.7x) and seat mounting fault (9.6x) also appear frequently.
The shift from vehicle structure corroded to the extent that t... at lower mileages to coil springs broken at higher mileages is typical — early failures tend to be design or factory-related, while high-mileage failures reflect accumulated mechanical wear. A car that's been well maintained will usually dodge the worst of both.
What to check before buying a Hyundai H100
Based on the MOT failure data and known issues above, here's what to prioritise when inspecting a Hyundai H100:
Bodywork — check for vehicle structure corroded to the extent that t..., structural corrosion. Suspension — check for abs fault, coil springs broken, anti-roll bar links worn.
Always check the car's full MOT history for patterns — recurring advisories often become failures within 12 months. Enter any reg into our free car check to see the complete picture.
