2022 Hyundai Tucson N Line S T-GDI HEV Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · SW71 BVU

The most recent MOT, carried out on 21 August 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, confirming that the vehicle met the current safety and emissions standards. The preceding MOT in February 2026 also passed without comment, while the only advisory on the 27 February 2025 test concerned the front‑left and front‑right tyres approaching their wear markers. This pattern shows a stable maintenance trajectory, with no deterioration in core systems and only a routine tyre wear notice that has since been resolved. At 27 980 miles on a 2022 model, the Tucson averages roughly 6 995 miles per annum, which sits comfortably within the typical UK usage band for a four‑year‑old family SUV. The mileage does not suggest either prolonged periods of inactivity or unusually high annual distances, so wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch components and suspension bushings should be proportional to age rather than accelerated by excessive mileage. There are no obvious gaps in the recorded mileage that would indicate long-term storage, which can sometimes mask corrosion or fluid degradation. When you inspect the vehicle, give particular attention to the tyre condition. Verify that the tread depth on all four tyres exceeds 3 mm and that the sidewalls are free from cracking, dry rot or bulges, as age‑related polymer hardening can occur even on relatively low‑mileage tyres. Look for uneven wear patterns that might point to mis‑alignment, worn steering rack bushings or degraded suspension components; any clunk or knock when the steering wheel is turned at low speed should be investigated. Examine the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or glazing and ensure the pads have sufficient material; a pulsating pedal or shudder on firm braking would indicate disc wear or caliper binding. Check the front and rear suspension for any play in the ball joints, worn coil‑spring mounts or deteriorated anti‑roll bar bushings, and listen for creaks when the car is driven over bumps. Given the vehicle’s hybrid power‑train, confirm the health of both the 12 V auxiliary battery and the high‑voltage traction battery – a voltage test or diagnostic scan at a reputable dealer will reveal any loss of capacity. Inspect the coolant reservoirs for proper level and colour, as hybrid coolant should be replaced on a calendar schedule rather than mileage alone. Verify that the brake fluid has been changed within the last two years, as moisture ingress can reduce boiling point and affect braking performance. Finally, look for any signs of corrosion on the chassis, wheel arches and under‑body, especially around the rear‑axle and exhaust mounts, and ensure that the service book shows regular oil, filter and transmission fluid changes in line with Hyundai’s recommended intervals. These checks will give you a clear picture of the Tucson’s current roadworthiness and any imminent maintenance that may be required.
