2022 Hyundai Tucson SE Connect T-GDI HEV A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FY72 AAN

The most recent MOT test conducted on 21 November 2025 resulted in a pass, with the only advisory being a non-mechanical note regarding child seats obstructing a full inspection of the rear seat belts. This indicates that the vehicle's structural integrity and primary safety systems were found to be in good order at the time of testing. Based on the available records, the maintenance trend appears stable, as there are no recorded mechanical failures or recurring defects that would suggest a pattern of neglect or impending component failure. The recorded mileage of 25,724 miles over a four-year period equates to an average annual usage of approximately 6,431 miles. This represents a relatively low-to-moderate usage profile for a contemporary hybrid SUV, suggesting the vehicle has likely been used for shorter trips or less frequent commuting. While this lower mileage typically means less wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems, it also implies that the vehicle may have spent periods stationary, which can lead to specific types of degradation that are not strictly mileage-dependent. During your physical inspection, you should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, looking specifically for sidewall cracking or perishing, which can occur due to age and environmental exposure even if the tread depth remains substantial. It is also advisable to inspect the brake discs for excessive surface corrosion or pitting, which can develop if the vehicle has been parked for long durations. On your test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension bushes or coil springs, and feel for any brake shudder or binding calipers that might indicate uneven component wear or seized parts. Given the hybrid nature of the vehicle and its usage pattern, ensure that the 12V battery and the high-voltage system are operating correctly without any warning lights on the instrument cluster. You should also verify that the service history includes time-based maintenance, such as regular oil changes and brake fluid replacements, as these are vital for maintaining the integrity of the engine and hydraulic systems regardless of low mileage. Checking for any signs of fluid leaks from the engine or transmission and confirming the presence of regular service stamps will be essential to ensuring the vehicle's long-term mechanical health.
