HYUNDAI TUCSON2016 · 2.0L DIESEL

The 6 July 2026 MOT recorded a pass at 83,944 miles with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend shows a resolving pattern after failures in July 2024 and July 2025 were rectified within days to secure passes. The July 2025 tester failed the vehicle at 75,900 miles for excessive wear to both rear trailing arm bushes and corrosion at the rear subframe mounting, then the 16 July 2025 test passed it at 75,906 miles with a slight offside front wheel bearing noise advisory. Recorded mileages reflect typical use for a 2016 model. The 10 July 2024 test at 67,293 miles, the 16 July 2025 pass at 75,906 miles, and the 6 July 2026 reading of 83,944 yield an annual average near 8,300 miles. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear; the three-year record stays consistent with expected yearly driving. A buyer should physically inspect rear suspension trailing arm bushes and subframe mounts, as the 2025 failure exposed excessive wear and prescribed-area corrosion that may persist or recur. The offside front wheel bearing drew a noise advisory in 2025 but cleared by 2026; confirm replacement rather than silent tolerance. Check constant velocity boot condition given the 2025 split boot failure on the nearside front drive shaft. The July 2024 test failed the vehicle for an inoperative engine malfunction indicator lamp, offside rear brake pivot restriction and low parking brake efficiency, revealing reactive ownership that delayed repairs until test dates. Examine handbrake pivots, caliper movement and engine MIL function during a viewing. Such checks validate the apparent improvement shown in the latest clean pass.
