2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Diesel · V17 SBR

The Hyundai Tucson presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 14 October 2025 at 43,002 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across five consecutive annual and interim tests from May 2022 to October 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure, indicating consistent mechanical condition and no worsening faults. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally low use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record opens at 10,038 miles on 26 May 2022 and climbs only to 13,017 miles by 16 October 2023, then jumps to 22,492 miles at the 14 October 2024 test and 43,002 miles one year later. This reveals two quiet years of roughly 3,000 miles annually followed by a sharp 20,510-mile accumulation between October 2024 and October 2025. Sparse test history beyond those dates means no evidence of neglected consumables, though the late high-use surge warrants scrutiny of items stressed by the sudden increase. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the 2025 mileage spike may have accelerated wear not yet surfaced in testing. The clean record shows no prior corrosion, exhaust, or structural flags, so focus on tyre tread depth and any binding calipers from standing periods before mid-2024. Given the flawless MOT trail, previous owners appear to have maintained the Tucson to a standard that avoided even minor advisories. Verify service history matches the odometer jumps before purchase.
