2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · SR16 AET

This Hyundai Tucson is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 9 February 2026 at 89,104 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed its tests without any recorded defects or advisories over the last three years. The absence of flagged issues suggests the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,910 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between January 2025 and February 2026, where the odometer rose from 78,467 to 89,104 miles. This indicates a period of higher intensity use over the last fourteen months compared to the roughly 7,200 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025. The DVSA record is unusually clean, showing no advisories for common age related wear such as brake disc corrosion, suspension bush degradation, or tyre tread depth. While the lack of recorded faults is positive, the failure entries on 30 January 2026 and 20 January 2025 are anomalous because no specific defects were listed. This suggests administrative errors in the recording process or very minor faults that were rectified instantly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on consumables that often escape MOT scrutiny if they are just above the legal limit. Check the condition of the brake pads and the depth of the tyre treads given the recent increase in annual mileage. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion and check the service history to ensure oil changes and filter replacements align with the mileage increases, as the MOT record alone does not confirm preventative engine maintenance.
