2020 HYUNDAI TUCSON N LNE 48V MHEV CRDI 2WD1.6L Electric Diesel

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 10 September 2025 at 74,294 miles, confirming it meets the minimum legal standards. However, the pattern of advisories shows a worsening trend: the offside front brake pads are thin, both front tyres are worn close to the legal limit, and the front brake discs exhibit pitting. These consumables have deteriorated progressively over the past three annual tests, indicating that wear is advancing rather than stabilising. Mileage accumulation is consistent with a high‑use pattern. Between September 2023 (62,502 miles) and September 2025 (74,294 miles) the car added roughly 11,800 miles per year, exceeding the typical 8–10 k mile annual average for a six‑year‑old SUV. The one‑year intervals between tests are normal, but the steady rise indicates the previous owner logged substantial mileage. A prospective buyer should inspect the offside front brake pads for wear beyond the 1.1.13 (a) (ii) threshold, examine the front brake discs for scoring or pitting as noted under 1.1.14 (a) (ii), and check both front tyre tread depths against the 5.2.3 (e) limit. The rapid tyre wear suggests possible suspension bush or alignment issues; a visual check of the front suspension mounts, steering rack and wheel bearing seals is advisable. Also verify the exhaust for corrosion and ensure the hybrid battery coolant shows no leaks. No structural corrosion or chassis defects were recorded in the MOT history, but the high mileage warrants an under‑body inspection for rust hotspots. Overall, the vehicle remains roadworthy, yet the deteriorating brake and tyre condition means immediate servicing and component replacement will be required to maintain safety and longevity.
