2023 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate T-GDI HEV Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · KN23 AXW

The 2026‑03‑05 MOT recorded a failure, the vehicle was deemed unroadworthy because both rear tyres had cuts deep enough to reach the ply. The maintenance trend appears to be deteriorating, with tyre wear being the only fault flagged. No other defects were noted, but the presence of such cuts indicates that the vehicle’s consumables are below acceptable limits. The car logged 55,645 miles at the time of the test, equating to roughly 18,500 miles per year over its three‑year life. This is a relatively high annual mileage for a vehicle of this age and suggests that the tyres and other wear‑prone components have been subjected to significant use. The MOT history is sparse; only the latest test is available, so it is unclear whether tyre cuts were a new development or an ongoing issue that has not been recorded previously. A prospective buyer should examine the rear tyres in person, checking tread depth, sidewall integrity and any cuts or bulges that could compromise safety. Verify tyre pressure and look for uneven wear patterns that might hint at alignment or suspension problems. While the MOT record does not flag suspension or brake issues, the high mileage warrants a visual inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion or wear. Inspect the brake calipers for binding, and confirm that brake fluid levels are adequate. Finally, review the vehicle’s structural integrity, looking for rust on the chassis or body panels, and test the exhaust system for leaks or excessive emissions.
