2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · CP16 ABN

The vehicle holds a valid MOT pass dated 19 March 2026 at 149,634 miles, confirming statutory roadworthiness at that moment. The maintenance trend is stable, with annual tests from March 2023 through March 2026 recording no defects or advisories. The DVSA logged a failure on the same date as the pass, with no defects noted, reflecting an administrative anomaly rather than mechanical decline. Recorded mileage of 149,634 on a 2016 model equates to about 14,963 miles per year, a high figure for its age. The sequence shows disciplined annual testing: 82,398 miles on 2 March 2023, 106,485 on 21 March 2024, 128,811 on 21 March 2025, and 149,634 on 19 March 2026. Annual increments near 21,000 miles indicate sustained regular use, likely mixed motorway commuting. Previous keepers maintained test punctuality, though the sparse defect record offers limited insight into proactive mechanical care. Absence of advisories across five examinations does not negate wear from high mileage. The buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue or corrosion, as these components accumulate stress invisible to a brief test lane check. Structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants scrutiny for rust given winter road exposure over ten years. The clean ledger shows no minor consumable flags such as tyre tread or wiper blades, which is unusual for a car covering this distance. That pattern may signal pre-test rectification or terse reporting by testers. Verify actual tyre depth, screen wash function, and exhaust emissions under load during an independent appraisal before purchase.
