2016 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Diesel · BW16 MLZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 15 May 2025 at 167,719 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle consistently passes its inspections despite immediate failures in the preceding years. The record shows that failures in 2024 and 2025 were resolved within a few days, suggesting the owner is proactive in rectifying MOT-related defects to maintain a valid test certificate. The mileage profile is high for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 16,700 miles per year. Data indicates a significant accumulation between the May 2023 test at 136,011 miles and the 2024 test at 155,020 miles, followed by another 12,700 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025. This consistent high-frequency usage typically places greater stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems compared to lower-mileage city-runners. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and control arm bushes, as the high mileage often accelerates wear on these rubber components. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the most recent tests, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained in terms of mechanical compliance. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion, a physical check of the underbody for mounting surface rust remains necessary to ensure the high-mileage use has not led to degradation of the chassis integrity.
