2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON1.7L Diesel

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passing MOT tests. The most recent inspection on November 6, 2025 at 70,536 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced minor advisories regarding consumable items. Prior to this, the vehicle achieved five consecutive clean records between 2019 and October 2024, suggesting a high standard of mechanical upkeep and structural integrity during those periods. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a steady progression in usage, moving from 24,470 miles in November 2019 to 70,536 miles by late 2025. The gap of 8,838 miles between the October 2024 and 2025 tests indicates a recent increase in activity. This low annual mileage generally implies that wear on heavy drivetrain components and suspension should be minimal compared to higher-run examples of this age. A buyer should focus on the specific advisories noted in the November 2025 test. The tester flagged a chip in the nearside front windscreen and perishing or cracking on both nearside and offside front tyres. The cracking in the rubber suggests dry-rot due to age rather than tread wear, which is common in vehicles that sit for longer periods. Inspection of the windscreen should ensure the chip does not spread into the driver's field of view under temperature changes. Since the record shows no historical failures for brakes, suspension, or structural corrosion, the physical inspection should simply verify the absence of new fluid leaks or perished rubber bushes. Given the low mileage, the primary risks are related to the degradation of age-sensitive components rather than mechanical fatigue. The data reflects a well-maintained vehicle with no recorded history of significant neglect.
