2022 Hyundai Tucson Premium T-GDI HEV Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric · AF72 SSJ

The vehicle demonstrates a stable and reassuring maintenance trend. Its most recent MOT test on 14 August 2025, recorded at 21,436 miles, passed with zero defects. This clean bill of health suggests the hybrid drivetrain, braking system, and structural integrity were fully compliant with DVSA standards at that time. With no recurring faults or advisories to track, the trend remains firmly stable rather than worsening. The mileage pattern indicates exceptionally light use for a vehicle of this age. At roughly four years old, the 21,436 miles equate to an annual average of approximately 5,359 miles, falling well below the national norm. The recorded mileage remained static at 21,436 miles for the August 2025 test, suggesting either very limited recent use or a prolonged period of standing. While low mileage reduces wear on consumables like brake discs and tyres, it introduces different concerns regarding fluid degradation and component seizure from inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to deterioration from low mileage and prolonged standing rather than high wear. Examine the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as the rubber may have perished before reaching the legal tread limit. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and listen for any binding calipers, a common issue when vehicles sit unused for extended periods. Inspect the suspension bushes and exhaust system for early corrosion that can occur in short-trip, low-mileage driving conditions where components fail to reach optimal operating temperatures. Verify the health of the hybrid battery system and ensure the 12-volt auxiliary battery is holding a strong charge, as frequent short runs can prevent these systems from maintaining proper charge cycles.
