HYUNDAI TUCSON N LINE T-GDI 2WD2020 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of reactive rather than proactive servicing. The latest test in May 2026 at 29,763 miles passed despite an advisory for thin rear brake pads. This follows a similar issue seen in June 2024 at 18,897 miles where the front pads were flagged as thin. While the vehicle consistently passes, the data suggests the previous owner only addresses friction components once they approach MOT failure thresholds. The mileage profile is low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less strain on the engine and gearbox, but the record reveals a significant spike in activity recently. Between June 2024 and May 2025, the car covered over 6,000 miles in less than a year. The failure in May 2025 due to pitted front brake discs and tyre damage indicates that during this period of higher use, consumable items were not being monitored for wear or accidental impact damage prior to the annual inspection. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system in person. The pitting and scoring on both front discs recorded in 2025 suggest the vehicle may have sat for long periods, allowing corrosion to affect the metal. Given the recurring reports of thin pads across both front and rear axles, a thorough measurement of the remaining pad material is necessary to ensure immediate replacement is avoided. Additionally, check the sidewalls of all tyres for cuts, as the 2025 failure for a cut reaching the cords on the nearside rear indicates a history of curb damage or poor tyre maintenance.
