2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · AD65 WHG

The 2016 Hyundai Tucson passed its most recent MOT on April 3, 2026, at mileage of 78,977 miles with no defects recorded. This result indicates the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal safety and environmental standards required for use on UK roads. The absence of advisories in the latest report suggests that the primary mechanical components, emissions, and braking systems were in functional condition at the time of the test. At 78,977 miles over ten years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,900 miles per year. This usage profile is consistent with typical requirements for a family SUV of this age, suggesting moderate wear on heavy-duty components like the clutch, gearbox, and suspension bushings. However, lower annual mileage can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber-based parts such as suspension arms and tyres, which perish due to age and environmental exposure rather than distance driven. While the recent test result is clean, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches where these models are prone to rust. Check for any signs of hairline cracks in the coil springs and the condition of the brake discs for uneven wear or pitting. Given the vehicle is now two months past its last inspection, ensuring the service history reflects regular oil changes remains vital to maintain the engine health beyond what the MOT test covers.
