2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · AP18 EYW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership style. The most recent test in June 2025 at 59,448 miles showed a pass only after addressing failures related to the washer system and rear suspension components. While the vehicle passed, the presence of worn rear suspension arm bushes on both sides suggests that rubber components are reaching the end of their functional life and will likely require further attention soon. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. There is a clear gap of 10,600 miles between the May 2024 test at 48,848 miles and the 2025 test at 59,448 miles. This steady usage suggests regular driving rather than long periods. However, the recurring nature of brake and tyre failures across these intervals indicates the owner only performs necessary repairs when prompted by an MOT failure rather than following scheduled service intervals. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension geometry thoroughly, as the tester flagged worn bushes on both trailing arms in the 2025 test. The history also shows a persistent trend of neglected brakes, with front pads failing or being flagged as thin in 2023 and 2024. The buyer should verify the current state of the brake discs for pitting or scoring, as previous records noted they were already showing wear. Additionally, the repeated history of worn tyre edges and sidew damage suggests a need to check the wheel alignment to ensure the suspension is not causing premature tyre degradation.
