Hyundai Trajet MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Hyundai Trajets in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Hyundai Trajet registrations over time

Registrations of Hyundai Trajets for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 2,085 in 2002. In 2025, 0 were registered. With almost none registered new, the number on the road is likely to keep falling.

  • Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
  • Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model name “Trajet”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Hyundai Trajet safety recalls

DVSA lists 4 safety recalls for the Hyundai Trajet since 1992, the first in 2003. The most recent was launched on 20 September 2010.

Suspension may fail

Launched 20 September 2010 DVSA recall R/2010/091

Defect
Trajet and Sante Fe - Corrosion may build up and weaken the rear suspension arms to an extent where they could fail and the directional control of the vehicle could be affected. Sante Fe models additionally have a similar concern with the front sub-frame.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to test the thickness of the metal of the suspension arms. If the corrosion is not too advanced the arms/sub-frame will be wax oiled. If the corrosion is advanced the suspension arms will have to be changed.

All 4 Hyundai Trajet recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Hyundai Trajet. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer.

  • 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.
  • First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
  • Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
