2023 HYUNDAI TUCSON ULTIMATE TGDI PHEV 4X4A1.6L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in the MOT on January 9, 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive neglect regarding basic consumable upkeep. While the vehicle passed, the tester flagged a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit of 2mm with significant uneven edge wear, indicating a potential alignment issue or suspension geometry that went unaddressed during the test. At 38,118 miles, this three-year-old plug-in hybrid has covered approximately 12,700 miles per year. This usage profile exceeds the national average for a passenger car, suggesting consistent motorway use which places higher demand on the drivetrain and braking components. The MOT history is sparse due to the vehicle's relative youth, but the high mileage density implies that components such as brake pads and suspension bushes may be approaching their service intervals sooner than a lower-mileage equivalent. A prospective buyer must inspect the front suspension and wheel geometry to address the uneven tyre wear noted on the nearside front. This specific pattern often stems from worn bushes, faulty control arms, or incorrect tracking settings. The presence of a TPMS warning for low pressure during the January test further suggests the owner may not have monitored basic vehicle pressures regularly. A thorough check of the remaining tyre depths and brake disc thickness is essential to ensure the high-mileage usage has not resulted in premature degradation of these critical components.
