2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · DC62 PJC

The Hyundai Tucson presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 August 2025 at 51,466 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT results since 2021. No advisories or failures appear anywhere in the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the official test scope during this period. Recorded mileage sits low for a 2017 registration, totalling 51,466 miles or roughly 5,718 miles per year. The test on 17 June 2021 captured 24,445 miles, rising to 34,245 by 11 June 2022, then 41,039 on 14 June 2023, 45,691 on 27 August 2024, and 51,466 on 18 August 2025. Annual accumulation stayed consistent at around 7,000 to 9,000 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps, and the sparse five-entry history shows no consumable or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A clean MOT ledger does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. Low mileage combined with the age suggests the car may have stood for extended periods, raising the risk of perished rubber components, stiff suspension bushes, and surface corrosion on structural underbody points not yet severe enough to fail a test. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for rust binding after standing, and tyres assessed for sidewall cracking despite adequate tread. Given the absence of recorded advisories, previous keepers appear to have maintained the vehicle to a standard that satisfied annual testing. The buyer should still commission an independent mechanical inspection to confirm suspension integrity, exhaust emissions under load, and absence of hidden structural rust before purchase.
