United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. This covers cars DVLA records under this version’s name only; the Hyundai Matrix page covers every version. How we use engine sizes.
Hyundai Matrix MOT reliability
In 2025, 52.1% of Hyundai Matrix MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages pass 59.0% of the time, so the Hyundai Matrix does worse than average for its age, by 6.9 points.
DVSA's MOT results name the model, not the version, so these figures cover all Hyundai Matrixes tested, the Style among them. For the full breakdown, including defects in detail and results year by year, see the Hyundai Matrix page.

- Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
- Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately, from 2008.
- This version groups DVLA’s detailed model names “MATRIX STYLE AUTO”, “MATRIX STYLE”. Engine size, gearbox, number of doors and fuel are ignored, so every engine and gearbox counts together.
- Survival compares the number still registered (licensed or SORN) with the number first registered since 2001. Other versions are those of the same model with the same average year of first registration.
