2022 Hyundai Tucson 2.5L Petrol · AE71 FVN

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson has a recent MOT history with two entries recorded on 2026-05-13, just one week before the current date. One entry states the vehicle PASSED with minor issues related to window tinting, while the other shows a FAILED result with the same defects plus additional failures, including a missing rear fog lamp, incorrect direction indicator colours, and headlamp aim problems. This contradiction suggests either an error in the records or a scenario where the vehicle failed initially but was later repaired and passed. The exact resolution of these issues remains unclear from the data provided. The recurring defects focus on non-safety-critical elements such as window tinting, which did not impair visibility, and minor lighting faults like incorrect direction indicator colours. However, the rear fog lamp and switch being missing is a more significant concern, as it affects visibility in poor weather conditions. Headlamp aim too high could reduce visibility for oncoming drivers, and the windscreen wiper’s failure to clear the windscreen effectively poses a risk during rain. These issues indicate a pattern of minor but persistent maintenance oversights rather than severe mechanical degradation. The vehicle’s mileage of 35,599 miles (roughly 8,900 miles per year) aligns with typical usage for its age, suggesting no extreme wear from high mileage. However, the lack of major defects in the MOT history does not confirm the vehicle’s overall condition, as the records focus on specific, visible issues.
