2019 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · FM68 AFO

The vehicle appears to be in a stable state of roadworthiness following its most recent test on 6 October 2025 at 38,745 miles, which returned a clean pass with no defects. This follows a period of minor mechanical and consumable issues that have since been addressed. The maintenance trend shows improvement, moving from a failed inspection in October 2023 to a clean record in the latest assessment. The mileage profile indicates light usage, averaging approximately 5,535 miles per year over the seven-year period. The data shows consistent, incremental growth from 22,204 miles in December 2021 to 38,745 miles in late 2025. While the low annual mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, the history reveals that the vehicle has likely spent significant periods stationary, evidenced by the recurring tyre degradation. A buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres. The records show a pattern of rubber perishing and cracking, with defects noted in December 2022 and a subsequent failure in October 2023 involving both rear tyres and the nearside front tyre. Even though the 2025 test was clear, the history suggests the rubber may age prematurely due to low usage. A physical inspection of the sidewalls and tread grooves for age-related cracking is necessary. The suspension and braking systems also require scrutiny. The October 2023 failure specifically flagged a displaced trailing arm forward bush on the offside rear, and the October 2024 test noted thinning rear brake pads. Although these issues were resolved to achieve the 2025 pass, a manual check of the suspension bushes for play and an assessment of the remaining brake pad thickness will confirm the effectiveness of previous repairs.
