2016 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Diesel · BV16 NFD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the MOT history indicates a trend of deferred maintenance regarding wear and tear items. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 92,931 miles identified thin front brake pads and worn suspension arm pins or bushes on both rear sides. While the vehicle passed, the recurring nature of these advisories suggests that the car is reaching a stage where multiple suspension and braking components will require simultaneous replacement to prevent future test failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in the records between December 2022 and January 2024, during which the car covered over 11,000 miles. Since the January 2024 test, usage has accelerated, covering nearly 18,000 miles in just two years. This increased rate of use correlates with the apparent degradation of consumables, such as the tyres and brake components, noted in the 2025 and 2026 records. A prospective buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the rear suspension, as the worn arm bushes flagged in early 2026 are likely nearing the point of excessive movement. The braking system also requires close scrutiny; the history shows pitted rear discs and thin pads in 2025, followed by thin front pads in 2026, indicating the entire system is overdue for overhaul. Additionally, check the tyre depth and uneven wear patterns, as previous records from 2025 suggest alignment issues or simply neglected replacement.
