2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON1.7L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 45,842 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle remains in a sound condition. This stable trend has persisted over the last five years, showing that the car has avoided the common structural or mechanical failures that often affect modern SUVs of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old Tucson, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per annum. Between February 2022 at 25,998 miles and February 2026 at 45,842 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 20,000 miles. This steady, low-intensity usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to higher-average-age vehicles. However, such low annual mileage accumulation can sometimes lead to flat-spotted tyres or degraded rubber components if the vehicle sat stationary for long periods between tests. Since the MOT record shows no recurring faults like binding calipers or corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and sidewalls for cracking, as rubber can perish over time regardless of distance driven. Verify the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as infrequent use often prevents the pads from cleaning them. The lack of historical advisories suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained despite limited use.
