2014 Hyundai ix35: MOT pass rate and common faults
Share of initial MOT tests passed with no repairs. Repairs made at the test centre count as a fail. 95% range 67.4% to 69.0% (±0.9 points).
That is about average: the difference from the average for all vehicles first used in 2014 (68.6%) is within the margin of error. These cars were about 11 years old at the test.

All vehicles first used in 2014: the 215 models in our data, 2,266,322 tests (97.3% of all 2,330,102 tests on vehicles first used in 2014). Areas with fewer than 50 failures in a model aren't published, so an area is only compared when that leaves the all-vehicles figure at most 10% short; otherwise it shows –.

Not enough 2014 Hyundai ix35 cars with a suspension advisory to show a figure for this year alone.
Similar cars are the same model, first-use year and mileage band. Areas are the DVSA's top-level groups, so the later fail may not be the fault that was advised. These figures describe what happened to these cars. They don't show what a repair would have changed.
