2023 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate Tgdi Phev 4X4A 1.6L Hybrid electric · DE23 XLA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 16 March 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows a single failure just ten days prior to the pass. The failure on 6 March 2026 at 21,198 miles resulted from an offside rear tyre with a cut reaching the cords, which was rectified immediately to achieve the subsequent passing result. At 21,199 miles, the Tucson has averaged approximately 7,066 miles per year over its three-year lifespan. This mileage aligns with typical usage for a modern hybrid and suggests the car has not been subjected to excessive wear on the drivetrain or suspension components. The short interval between the failure at 21,198 miles and the pass at 21,199 miles indicates the owner was proactive in addressing safety-critical defects once they were flagged by the tester. A physical inspection should focus on the newly replaced offside rear tyre to ensure the replacement is of adequate quality and that no rim damage is present. The front registration plate was flagged for deterioration in both recent tests, so the condition of the plate and its mounting should be checked to prevent further advisories. Given the low mileage and the age of the PHEV, the buyer should also verify there are no signs of spotting on the brake discs, which can occasionally occur on vehicles used for short distances.
