2019 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · CF19 HKT

The vehicle passed its MOT on 2026-05-08 at 67,436 miles, but this followed an initial failure on the same day for front brake pads below 1.5mm and both near-side tyres worn to the legal limit. The pass indicates the brake pads were replaced, yet the nearside tyres remain worn close to the limit as an advisory. This suggests the tyres were not addressed despite being a failure reason, pointing to deferred maintenance. The trend is worsening, with persistent near-side tyre edge wear noted since at least 2024 and a critical brake pad failure appearing in 2026. Mileage accumulation is consistent, averaging approximately 9,600 miles annually over seven years. The recorded mileages show steady usage: 26,991 miles in May 2023, 37,753 in May 2024, 50,147 in May 2025, and 67,436 in May 2026. There are no unusual gaps or spikes, indicating regular operation without prolonged inactivity. A buyer must inspect the nearside tyres immediately, as they are worn close to the 1.6mm legal minimum and exhibit edge wear, likely from misalignment or improper inflation. The front brake pads should be verified for thickness, given the recent failure. Additionally, check the offside rear tyre for recurring damage, as slight cracking was noted in 2024, and assess the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs that could cause uneven tyre wear. Examine the braking system for binding calipers or discs that may have contributed to the rapid pad wear. No structural corrosion or exhaust issues appear in the record, but a thorough in-person check for hidden rust is prudent given the vehicle's age.
