2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · AF68 HYO

The Hyundai Tucson presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 51,288 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual passes show no advisories or faults. The vehicle's history indicates consistent upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Recorded mileage sits at 51,288 against an eight-year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,411 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The DVSA log shows steady annual accumulation: 32,268 miles in September 2022, 40,600 by September 2023, 46,801 in September 2024, and 51,288 in September 2025. A two-day gap between a fail and pass in September 2023 at 40,577 and 40,600 miles is the only anomaly; the fail carried no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or emissions retest rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean record with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across all tests, the buyer faces low documented risk. The absence of flagged wear items implies previous owners addressed consumables before each test. In person, the buyer should still verify tyre tread depth, brake caliper operation, and underbody structural integrity for hidden rust, as MOT passes do not guarantee intervening wear. The sparse but clean history warrants a standard pre-purchase inspection rather than targeted fault investigation.
