2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · CX68 YZE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improving maintenance. The most recent MOT test on 20 January 2026 at 29,853 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. Since the failure in late 2021, the Tucson has maintained a clean testing record across three consecutive annual inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging 3,732 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between February 2021 and December 2021, during which the car covered only 1,012 miles. Since early 2022, the usage has become more consistent, averaging roughly 3,000 miles per annual interval. This low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it increases the likelihood of rubber component degradation and brake corrosion due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the 2021 failure at 16,683 miles flagged pitted and corro rear brake discs. While the subsequent tests suggest these were replaced or rectified, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or surface rust if not used regularly. Check the tyres for age-related sidew cracking, as the 2021 failure noted structural damage and edge wear on the nearside. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes for signs of perished rubber, as low-frequency use can lead to flat spotting or uneven wear despite high tread depth.
