2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · AP67 JCX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 15, 2026, 88,154 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The recent test failed just four days prior at 87,993 miles due to both the nearside and offside front tyres being worn below the legal 1.6mm limit. While these issues were rectified for the re-test, the failure indicates that the owner only addresses essential safety items when prompted by a tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year, which is typical for an eight-year-old Tucson. There was a significant gap of 13,410 miles between February 2024 and March 2025, followed by another 14,714 miles between March 2025 and May 2026. This steady usage suggests the car is driven regularly, which is generally better for mechanical components than long periods of standing, but it also accelerates the wear of consumables like the items seen in the records. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system, as the March 2025 test flagged thin brake pads and worn discs at 73,440 miles. Given that nearly 15,000 miles have passed since that advisory, it is likely these components are nearing the end of their service life again. The registration plate deterioration is a recurring issue across three years, requiring a simple replacement to ensure visibility and compliance. Additionally, verify the age and condition of all four tyres, as the recent front failure suggests the front pair was been neglected until they reached critical levels.
