2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · CK02 AWK

The vehicle shows a declining trend in consumable maintenance, evidenced by the most recent MOT on 8 January 2026 at 97,346 miles. While the vehicle passed this test, the tester flagged all four tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This follows a pattern of tyre-related advisories and failures seen in previous years, suggesting that tyre replacement is often deferred until the legal limit is reached. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical 10-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with the mileage increasing from 31,012 in July 2019 to the current 97,346 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of inactivity, though the jump from 46,608 miles in August 2020 to 60,684 miles in June 2021 indicates a period of higher annual mileage compared to the earlier years of the vehicle's life. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The February 2025 test at 89,042 miles resulted in a failure due to thin front brake pads and insufficient parking brake efficiency, which required rectification to pass. Given that the 2026 test highlighted widespread tyre wear, a complete set of new tyres is likely required immediately. The tester also noted pitted or scored front brake discs in August 2020, so checking for any recent disc and pad replacements is necessary to ensure the braking components are not nearing the end of their service life again. The recurring issues with tyres and brakes suggest a maintenance pattern focused on reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. While no structural corrosion or suspension failures have appeared in the history, the frequent advisories regarding edge wear on tyres could indicate underlying issues such as incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. A physical inspection of the steering and suspension components is recommended to rule out any geometry issues contributing to uneven tyre wear.
