2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · AG04 GUL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 57,508 miles passed, it revealed significant advisories regarding both front tyres reaching the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a failure in September 2024 where the vehicle was grounded due to a missing wheel wheel fixing and insufficient parking brake efficiency, indicating that mechanical attention is intermittent. At 57,508 miles, this ten-year-old Tucson has covered low mileage, averaging approximately 5,750 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 6,600 miles since. This low annual mileage generally suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, but long periods of low road use can lead to the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the perishing of the rear tyre noted during the 2023 inspection. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and front end. The history highlights recurring issues with rear brakes, including thin pads and pitted discs in 2023, followed by a parking brake failure in 2024. The uneven wear on the front tyres reported in the 2025 test further suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require verification. Additionally, the wheel bolts should be checked for correct torqu to ensure the 2024 failure was properly rectified and maintained.
