2019 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · AX19 WFB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the car passed its September 2025 test at 58,187 miles, the tester identified multiple defects that were not present in previous inspections. The presence of play in the nearside front track rod end ball joint along with both front tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven wear indicates a recent lapse in routine suspension and tyre maintenance following a clean 2024 record. The mileage accumulation is relatively consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year over its seven-year life. There is a notable gap in recorded data between May 2023 at 24,300 miles and May 2024 at 44,457 miles, where the vehicle covered over 20,000 miles in a single year. This period of high use likely correlates with the mechanical failure seen in May 2024, where the vehicle failed on stretched brake hoses and insufficient lever travel. A buyer should pay particular attention to the braking system and front geometry. The failure in 2024 at 44,457 miles regarding stretched brake hoses suggests potential hydraulic degradation or heat damage issues that should be thoroughly checked for further leaks. Given the 2025 advisory on the track rod end ball joint and uneven tyre wear, a physical inspection of the front suspension bushings and wheel alignment is essential to ensure that component wear has not caused premature damage to other steering components.
