2019 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · AD68 MXA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on March 13, 2026 at 81,397 miles passed following a failure just two days prior. That failure involved an ineffective nearside windscreen wiper and a damaged windscreen. While these are minor visibility-related issues, the recurrence of failures in quick succession suggests the owner only addresses defects once they become a legal barrier during the MOT test. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per year. The data shows a steady rate of use, with a significant mileage jump of over 14,000 miles between March 2024 and February 2025, followed by another 11,000 miles between February 2025 and March 2026. This consistent usage suggests the car is driven regularly, which generally prevents the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals compared to a vehicle that sits stationary for long periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the steering and suspension components, specifically the flagged offside inner drag link end ball joint with play in February 2025. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent test, play in steering geometry often precedes wider wear that can lead to uneven tyre degradation or handling instability if not monitored. The early 2024 failure regarding incorrectly coloured rear indicators and a missing fog lamp further points to a lack of attention to detail regarding exterior trim and lighting. A physical inspection of the windscreen condition and wiper assembly is also necessary to ensure the defects identified in March 2026 have been properly rectified rather than merely masked.
