Which Hyundai models meet the ULEZ standard?
DVSA MOT tests 2022–2025 · 3,540,124 MOT tests · Updated
At least 75.6% of 3,540,124 Hyundai MOT tests in 2022–2025 were on cars that meet the ULEZ standard by first-use date alone [1].
- 22 Hyundai models with at least 1,000 MOT tests each; the most tested is the Hyundai i10 (980,119 MOT tests)
- Range: from none by date alone (Hyundai Terracan) to at least 100.0% (Hyundai Kona) of tests on cars that meet it by date
- Diesel: 24.9% of Hyundai MOT tests; a diesel generally meets Euro 6 only if first used from September 2015 [2]
- Per car: the Euro standard on the V5C decides, whatever the model
The fuel, the first-use date and the Euro standard on the V5C decide it for each car. Check the reg first.
Every Hyundai model page
Most tested first. The share counts MOT tests on cars first used late enough to meet the standard by date alone (petrol from 2006, diesel and hybrids from 2016, electric always), so it is a lower bound: many older Hyundai cars meet it too.

Compliance is decided for each car, not for a model. A zone checks the Euro emissions standard the car was built to, which is on the V5C log book or the maker’s certificate of conformity. Check one car with our ULEZ checker or TfL’s vehicle checker.
Check one car against the clean air zones
These figures are for a model or a zone as a whole. The ULEZ checker estimates one car's status from its fuel, first registration date and VCA emissions data; the zone operator's own checker has the final word. A registration also shows the car's DVSA MOT record.
