2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · BU18 ADO

The 2018 Hyundai Tucson is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-02 at 57,323 miles recording no defects. This follows a pattern of passing tests in 2025 and 2024, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. However, two consecutive failures in early 2024 at 43,241 and 43,161 miles—both without recorded defects—indicate potential unresolved issues that may have been addressed prior to the 2024-02-21 test. The absence of defects in the last 15 months implies the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards, though the earlier failures warrant scrutiny. The mileage of 57,323 miles over eight years aligns with an average of 7,165 miles annually, reflecting typical usage. A notable gap exists between the 2024-02-21 test (43,690 miles) and the 2025-02-27 test (51,281 miles), covering 7,591 miles in 12 months, slightly above the average. This suggests periods of increased use but no immediate red flags. The MOT history is otherwise clean, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues documented since 2024. A buyer should verify the resolution of the 2024 failures, as unrecorded defects may hint at minor faults like suspension bushes, brake binding, or exhaust leaks. Inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the chassis and wheel arches, and check brake discs for uneven wear. The absence of advisories on tyres or steering components is positive, but a pre-purchase inspection should confirm the condition of coil springs, exhaust emissions, and suspension components to ensure no latent issues persist.
