2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · CH15 HRH

The vehicle is in excellent roadworthiness condition as of its most recent MOT on 5 December 2025 at 88,370 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing a clean record across five consecutive annual tests without a single advisory or failure, indicating consistent care and no emerging mechanical issues. Mileage accumulation is consistent with average annual use for a vehicle of this age—roughly 8,800 miles per year—without any irregular spikes or long gaps between tests. The progression from 39,719 miles in November 2021 to 88,370 miles in December 2025 reflects steady, predictable usage with no evidence of odometer tampering or extended periods of inactivity. Each test occurred within the required 12-month window, reinforcing a pattern of responsible ownership. With no advisories or failures in the last five MOTs, there are no red flags for suspension wear, brake component degradation, or structural corrosion. However, as the vehicle approaches nine years of age and nearly 90,000 miles, a buyer should still inspect the condition of the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for signs of age-related stiffness or minor leakage, even if not yet flagged. The timing belt, which typically requires replacement around 60,000 to 100,000 miles depending on the engine variant, should be verified against service records, as it is not checked during MOTs. The interior trim, climate control system, and electrical components such as window regulators and sensors should also be tested in person, as these are not assessed under the MOT but can degrade with time regardless of mileage. The absence of recorded defects is reassuring, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is still recommended to confirm the integrity of non-MOT items.
