2020 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · AV20 LLE

The vehicle demonstrates a recent return to a clean roadworthiness status following a period of recurring tyre and seatbelt wear recorded in the previous year. The most recent inspection on 13 January 2026 recorded a pass with no defects, contrasting with the January 2025 test which flagged four tyre advisories for cracking or perishing on all four corners. This pattern of tyre degradation and a specific seatbelt issue from June 2023 suggests a need for immediate replacement of the current tyres and a thorough inspection of the front seatbelts, despite the vehicle currently being mechanically sound. With a recorded mileage of 45,218 miles on a 2020 model, the annual accumulation rate of approximately 7,536 miles indicates a standard usage profile rather than heavy commercial or high-performance driving. This consistent usage pattern suggests that the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress that would accelerate wear on the drivetrain or suspension components. The absence of significant mileage gaps in the MOT history supports this observation, implying the vehicle has been in regular use throughout its lifespan. Given the specific advisories regarding tyre condition and seatbelt integrity, the prospective buyer must conduct a physical inspection of these components immediately. The 2025 MOT record indicates that all four tyres exhibited signs of slight damage, cracking, or perishing, which compromises structural integrity and braking performance; therefore, verify the current tread depth exceeds the legal minimum and inspect the sidewalls for any structural compromise. Additionally, the June 2023 advisory noted fraying on the offside front seatbelt webbing, necessitating a thorough check of the webbing for wear and a functional test of the retractor mechanism to ensure it locks correctly under sudden deceleration.
