Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The Hyundai Tucson passed its most recent MOT on 17 December 2025 at 101,057 miles, leaving it roadworthy with two minor advisories. The maintenance trend is stable overall, though the latest test introduced the first recorded faults in the vehicle's history. Prior to that, the car cleared every test from 11 January 2022 through 18 December 2024 with no defects noted. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 10,106 miles per year for a 2016 model. The records show consistent annual use: 56,332 miles in January 2022, 69,243 in January 2023, 79,526 by December 2023, 89,487 in December 2024, and 101,057 at the final test. No standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes appear. The clean run across four years suggests the previous owner kept basic servicing current before the slight wear items surfaced. The December 2025 tester flagged slight play in the nearside track rod end ball joint and front service brake binding not exceeding excess limits. A buyer should physically check the steering rack end and track rod for worn bushes or loose joints, and strip the front calipers to confirm no seized slides or contaminated pistons. These are early-stage faults rather than structural risks. No corrosion, exhaust, or chassis integrity issues were raised across the record, so the body and drivetrain show no documented decline.

Our Verdict

This 2016 Hyundai Tucson diesel is a sensible used buy with a clean MOT pass record across the last five tests. The minor advisories on the most recent test are worth addressing but do not indicate serious underlying problems.

When viewing this Tucson, ask for full service history to confirm the timing belt and diesel particulate filter (DPF) have been maintained, as these are key items on a 10-year-old 1995cc diesel. Use the December 2025 advisories — front service brake binding and near-side track rod end play — as negotiation points, as both should be rectified soon and may cost a few hundred pounds combined. Given the clean MOT record, a fair price should reflect average market values for a 2016 Tucson diesel with just over 100,000 miles rather than a discount for major faults.
