2017 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Diesel · RR52 AJR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward component wear and deferred attention. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 54,914 miles identified surface corrosion on both front brake discs and a worn rear trailing arm bush, it represents a progression from the clean records seen in previous years. The history suggests the vehicle is now entering a phase where rubber components and metal braking surfaces require proactive replacement. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. The record remains remarkably clean between 2021 and 2023, where the car covered 14,000 miles without a single defect. However, the 8,000 miles driven between October 2024 and October 2025 saw a surge in advisories, including thin brake pads and uneven tyre wear, indicating that while the mileage is low, the vehicle may not have been subjected to rigorous preventative maintenance between intervals. A buyer must specifically inspect the braking system and suspension geometry during a physical evaluation. The 2024 test flagged thin pads on all axles and pitted rear discs, while the 2025 test confirmed pitted front discs, suggesting the entire braking assembly is nearing a full overhaul to ensure consistent performance. The uneven inner wear on the rear tyres in 2024, alongside the worn trailing arm bush noted in 2025, indicates a potential alignment issue or bushing degradation that needs to be addressed to prevent premature tyre failure.
