HYUNDAI TUCSON2018 · 1.7L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean recent inspection history. The most recent MOT conducted on August 6, 2025 at 55,820 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024, suggesting that the primary mechanical and structural components have been maintained to a satisfactory standard recently. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual use for this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a notable cluster of activity in April 2024, where the vehicle underwent two tests on consecutive days at 46,337 miles. After an initial failure for misaligned washer jets and a subsequent pass, the vehicle progressed steadily, covering 4,350 miles by August 2024 and another 5,132 miles by August 2025. This low mileage generally reduces the wear on heavy-duty suspension components and drivetrain parts compared to high-mileage counterparts. A physical inspection should focus on areas that the MOT tester does not thoroughly examine but require attention at this age. The failure in April 2024 regarding washer jets was a minor cosmetic issue, but the buyer should check the condition of all rubber hoses and reservoirs for perishation. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also inspect the tyres for flat spotting, which can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Since the record shows no advisories for brake corrosion or suspension wear, the structural integrity appears sound, though a visual check of the underbody for surface rust remains standard practice for a professional assessment.
