Looking at a I800?
Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.
Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Is the I800 disappearing?
Licensed numbers peaked at 8,528 in 2021 Q2 and stand at 7,339 in 2026 Q1, down 14%. That is down 13% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 629 are declared SORN — 1 in 13 of the 7,968 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.
A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.
Fuel
DfT codes every vehicle in the Hyundai I800 generic-model group as diesel.
I800 MOT pass rate
In 2024, 61.2% of 6,362 Hyundai I800 MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 69.5% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 48.4% aged 15–30 years.
- Headlamp Aim — 10.2% of tests. Headlights pointing too high or low. Cheap to adjust, and common on every make.
- Brake Performance — 8% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
- Position Lamps — 7.8% of tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
- Headlamps — 7.5% of tests. A headlight fault, from a blown bulb to a failed unit.
