2015 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · AF65 UBV

The Hyundai Tucson presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 95,515 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2023 to 2024 likewise passed clean. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the chain, so the upkeep pattern shows consistent compliance rather than a worsening or resolving condition. Mileage has accumulated at a near-typical rate for an 11-year-old vehicle. The record shows 77,003 miles at the 26 September 2023 test, rising to 86,754 by 24 September 2024 and 95,515 by 25 September 2025, equating to roughly 8,700 to 9,000 miles per year. The only anomaly is a failed test on 26 September 2022 at 67,610 miles, followed one day later by a pass at 67,639 miles with no defects listed, which suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical defect. Given the absence of flagged wear across suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the history implies the previous owners kept basic consumables and mechanical items within test limits. A clean MOT sequence of this length with no advisories is uncommon and points to disciplined servicing rather than deferred work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the spotless record. At 95,515 miles the Tucson is due for age-related checks the MOT does not always capture: inspect suspension arms for perished bushes, confirm brake calipers are free and not binding, and examine subframes and sills for incipient rust. Verify service invoices to corroborate the mileage and the unexplained 2022 failure, then assess tyre sidewall condition and wiper function as routine consumables.
