2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON1.7L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable and exemplary roadworthiness profile based on the four most recent annual inspections. The latest MOT conducted on 22 May 2025 at 80,193 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This consistent performance across the last four years indicates a high standard of preventative maintenance and suggests the vehicle has been kept in a reliable mechanical condition by its previous keepers. The recorded mileage of 80,193 miles over a nine-year period averages out to approximately 8,900 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The mileage accumulation has remained steady, with the vehicle covering roughly 7,000 to 9,500 miles between each annual test. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or evidence of erratic usage, suggesting the car has been driven regularly rather than left to sit for extended periods, which helps prevent issues like seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. Because the MOT records are entirely free of advisories or failures, the primary focus during a physical inspection should shift to components that are not always captured during a standard test. You should prioritize checking the condition of the clutch and dual-mass flywheel for any signs of slipping or vibration, as these are common wear items on this model that may not trigger an MOT failure until they are severely degraded. Inspect the underside for any early signs of surface corrosion on the subframes and exhaust system, and verify that the service history supports the clean MOT record with documented oil and filter changes. While the test history provides confidence in the structural and safety-critical systems, a thorough test drive remains necessary to evaluate the drivetrain and suspension bushes for any subtle play or noise not flagged by the tester.
