2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · BK18 RYB

The 2026‑03‑13 MOT at 77,145 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness standards. Earlier fails in 2026‑03‑12 and 2024‑03‑07 also listed no mechanical defects, indicating that the documented maintenance trend remains stable rather than deteriorating. The mileage trajectory shows an average annual increase of roughly 9,600 miles, consistent with an eight‑year‑old Tucson; however, the jump from 58,809 miles in March 2024 to 69,707 miles in March 2025 represents an accelerated usage of over 10,000 miles in a year, before settling to a more typical increment in the following year. A buyer should inspect the suspension system – checking bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for wear or binding – and examine the braking components, including rear calipers for binding and brake discs for scoring or corrosion. Visual examination of the chassis for structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and sills, and verification of exhaust integrity and emission levels are also advisable, given the absence of recorded defects but the presence of two previous fails. Overall, the recent pass suggests the Tucson is presently roadworthy, yet the buyer must conduct a thorough in‑person inspection of suspension, brake and structural elements to confirm that the lack of recorded defects reflects genuine mechanical health rather than concealed wear.
