2015 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · D22 AAT

The Hyundai Tucson passed its most recent MOT on 9 January 2026 at 81,873 miles with only edge-worn rear tyres advised. The maintenance trend is stable. Prior to this, the vehicle showed a clean record apart from a single failure on 3 January 2025 for non-compliant front tyre tread, which the same-day retest cleared. No structural, suspension, brake, or emissions defects appear across the five-year span reviewed. Recorded mileage rose from 57,634 at the September 2023 test to 57,647 in January 2024, then jumped to 68,967 by January 2025 and 81,873 by January 2026. That equates to roughly 11,200 miles in 2025, above the lifetime average of 7,443 per year. The low 13-mile delta between September 2023 and January 2024 suggests a period of minimal use, likely short local trips. The subsequent annual increments show normal private-use accumulation with no abrupt gaps or concerning spikes. The January 2025 failure on both front tyres at 1.6mm tread indicates the previous owner deferred consumable checks until the legal limit forced action. The January 2026 advisories for near and offside rear tyres worn on the edge point to continued neglect of rotation or alignment inspection. These are minor consumable items, not mechanical risks, but the pattern implies basic upkeep was skipped between tests. A buyer should physically verify rear tyre condition and confirm replacement since the advisory. Inspect front suspension bushes and brake discs for wear consistent with the 2025 mileage increase. Check underneath for corrosion on structural members and the exhaust system, as the record shows no prior flag but the car is now eleven years old.
