2016 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Diesel · RU13 ANT

The vehicle maintains a clean and stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 15 July 2025 at 108,941 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories during the last three annual inspections indicates a disciplined approach to maintenance and a lack of chronic mechanical neglect. While the 2024 test cycle included a failed attempt on 12 July 2024 at 100,632 miles, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass just three days later suggest a minor administrative or easily resolved technical issue rather than a systemic failure. Annual mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage patterns for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,894 miles per year. A notable surge in usage occurred between May 2022 and May 2023, where the vehicle covered 27,376 miles, followed by a more moderate increase of 17,399 miles over the subsequent fourteen months. This steady usage profile suggests the vehicle has been kept in active service rather than left standing for extended periods, which generally helps prevent the premature degradation of seals, gaskets, and electrical connectors often seen in low-mileage examples. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that typically reach their service limit at this mileage, specifically checking the condition of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and shock absorbers for signs of fatigue. Given the current odometer reading of 108,941 miles, verify the service history for evidence of major drivetrain maintenance, such as timing chain or belt replacements and transmission fluid changes, which fall outside the scope of the MOT test. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns, as the MOT only confirms functional performance at the time of testing and does not account for the remaining life of these consumables.
