Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The MOT history for this vehicle shows a pattern of increasing advisories, moving from a clean record in 2022 to several consumable-related issues in more recent tests. The most recent test on 13 November 2025 indicates a worsening trend regarding tyre maintenance, specifically noting an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This follows a 2024 advisory regarding a tyre monitor light and a nail in the nearside rear tyre. The vehicle has covered 60,398 miles over approximately seven years, averaging roughly 8,600 miles per year. This mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a 2019 model. The records show a gap between March and October 2022, but the testing frequency has remained annual since that period. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyre condition and alignment, as the 2025 advisory regarding edge wear suggests potential suspension geometry issues or uneven tread depletion. The 2023 test at an unspecified mileage flagged heat damage and wear on the offside rear brake discs and pads. While these components were passed, the presence of pitting and scoring warrants a close check of the braking system for any signs of binding or uneven pad wear. The recurring advisories focus on consumable items such as tyres and brakes rather than structural integrity or major mechanical failures. However, the transition from no defects in 2022 to multiple advisories in 2023, 2024, and 2025 indicates that maintenance of wear-and-tear components has become a more frequent requirement in the vehicle's recent history. buying_score: 62 risk_level: Medium.

Our Verdict

This 2019 Hyundai Tucson 1.6 Petrol presents as a low-risk purchase with a faultless MOT record over the past four years. Its mileage is broadly in line with the model average, and the clean test history suggests no recurring mechanical issues have surfaced so far. Buyers should still carry out the usual pre-purchase checks, but on paper this is a strong candidate.

Given the unblemished MOT record on this 1.6 petrol Tucson, you have more negotiating headroom than you might with a comparable car showing advisories, but you should still verify that the DVLA-recorded mileage tallies with the dashboard and any service invoices you are shown. The 1.6 T-GDi petrol unit is generally regarded as a willing but thirstier alternative to the 1.7 and 2.0 diesels in the range, so check that fuel economy matches your expectations if you cover high mileage. Inspect the timing chain area on cold start (a known weak point on early T-GDi engines) and confirm there is a documented service history rather than relying on the MOT record alone, since MOT testing does not cover engine internals, cambelt condition, or fluid changes. Pricing should reflect the desirable combination of a clean MOT history and below-average mileage, so use comparable T-GDi petrol examples as your benchmark rather than diesel variants.

The 1.6 T-GDi petrol in this Tucson tends to return around 35-40 mpg in real-world mixed driving, dropping into the high 20s on motorway runs if driven enthusiastically, which is worth considering against the more frugal diesel alternatives. Road tax sits in a reasonable band for a 1.6-litre SUV, and insurance should fall into a middle group for this class of vehicle, neither cheap nor punitive. Routine servicing at independent garages typically costs less than main-dealer rates, and parts availability for the Tucson is generally good. Estimated annual running costs of around £1,200-£1,500 should cover fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance for a driver covering average mileage.

The MOT history on this vehicle is remarkably clean, but you should still inspect the items most likely to affect a Tucson of this age and mileage. Check the rear brake discs and pads for wear, as the model aggregate data flags service brake imbalance as a common failure reason across the range. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, particularly around the rear silencer and mounting points, since exhaust issues are the most frequently recorded MOT failure for this model. Examine the windscreen for stone chips and verify both wiper blades clear the screen effectively, given that wiper defects also appear in the model's top failure list. Beyond the MOT-related items, look for oil weeping from the T-GDi engine's turbo oil feed pipe, inspect the rear suspension bushes for cracking, and confirm the dual-clutch or automatic gearbox (if fitted) changes smoothly.

This particular RE57ADO Tucson is a 1.6-litre petrol variant finished in blue, first registered in March 2019. Five MOT tests are recorded between 2022 and 2025, all of which passed without any advisories or defects, an unusually clean outcome. Mileage progression from 40,212 to 60,398 miles across the tests averages around 5,000 miles per year, which is below the model average of 8,078 annual miles for the Hyundai Tucson range. Against the 85.6% aggregate MOT pass rate for this model, this individual car sits comfortably among the better-maintained examples.

The Hyundai Tucson range shows an aggregate MOT pass rate of 85.6% across more than 119,500 vehicles analysed, placing it as a broadly reliable mid-size SUV. The most common MOT failures involve exhaust components, brake imbalance and wiper defects, which are typical wear-and-tear items rather than design flaws.
