2016 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Diesel · NA66 AAX

The vehicle holds a valid roadworthiness certificate from its March 2026 test at 84,341 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. The maintenance trend across the five-year record is stable and clean; every annual test, including the most recent, has passed without any mechanical or structural warnings. No recurring faults appear anywhere in the history, which is a strong indicator that the previous owners kept the car in sound general order. The recorded mileage of 84,341 sits roughly in line with the car's age, averaging about 8,434 miles per year. That average conceals a recent shift in usage, however. Between December 2023 and December 2024 the car covered approximately 13,655 miles, and the following year saw an even higher 14,892 miles from 66,348 up to 81,240. The final short period of around 3,100 miles before the March 2026 pass is unremarkable. The December 2025 entry lists a failure and a pass on the same day at the identical 81,240-mile reading, which points to a minor defect rectified immediately and retested, with no specific fault logged in the official record. That heavier annual mileage in recent years suggests sustained motorway running rather than light urban use, though nothing in the data indicates it caused any component failures. Because the MOT record shows no flagged structural or mechanical defects, the buyer should focus an independent inspection on the usual high-wear items. Check the brake discs and pads for lipping or scoring, and look for binding calipers or uneven pad wear across the axle. Examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for splits, corrosion, or perishing, and scan the underside for any structural rust around the subframe and sill mountings. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition on all four corners, plus the state of the exhaust system, complete the checklist. The clean MOT history is encouraging, but it does not guarantee the absence of deterioration since the March 2026 test, so a fresh pre-purchase inspection remains worthwhile.
