2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · CF16 OMD

The 2016 Hyundai Tucson presents a highly stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 5 December 2025 at 101,662 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the most recent test indicates the vehicle currently meets all structural and mechanical roadworthiness standards. This unbroken string of passes suggests the previous owner addressed any minor wear items proactively, keeping the vehicle in a reliable state rather than allowing faults to accumulate. Accumulating 101,662 miles over a decade equates to roughly 10,166 miles annually, a figure squarely within the typical usage bracket for a family SUV. The annual MOT intervals reveal a consistent and predictable mileage accumulation pattern. Between December 2021 and December 2022, the odometer advanced by 19,287 miles, and from December 2022 to December 2023, it increased by 15,335 miles. The rate has since tapered slightly, covering 12,956 miles in the year leading to the December 2024 test, followed by 9,744 miles in the subsequent twelve months. This tapering indicates a shift toward lighter, more local usage in recent years, though the consistent annual testing demonstrates ongoing compliance and care. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the condition of wear components that fall outside the MOT's strict pass/fail criteria. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyres for uneven wear, which could hint at misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes not yet severe enough to fail inspection. The brake discs and pads require scrutiny for lipping and thickness, as consumables can degrade rapidly even when passing the roller test. Given the vehicle's age and typical mileage, checking the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers for leaks or corrosion will confirm whether the underpinnings have been maintained to a standard matching the paperwork.
