Is the Hyundai i800 ULEZ Compliant?

How ULEZ rules apply to the i800

Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).

• Diesel (100% of i800s tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.

i800s from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (4% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Hyundai can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Hyundai i800 for London: what the MOT data shows

The Hyundai i800s in this data were first registered between 2008 and 2020. 2019 was the most common year, with 1,819 tests (22% of the total), and half were registered in 2017 or later.

i800s from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 67% of the time, at an average of 60,791 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 57% of the time with 108,396 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.

On a budget, the oldest diesel i800s likely to comply are from 2016. 1,072 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 62% of the time and averaged 78,958 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.

Whichever year you choose, check the i800's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (8.1% of tests), "not working on dipped beam" (6.8%) and "projected beam image is obviously incorrect" (4.8%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 16.9% of tests.

Overall, 63% of i800s passed first time, well below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 76,297 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
