2022 Hyundai Tucson Premium T-GDI HEV Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · DN22 EXT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern regarding tyre management. The most recent MOT test on 27 April 2026 at 47,898 miles passed despite a failure for the offside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This mirrors an advisory from the previous test on 8 May 2025, where the nearside front tyre was flagged for being at 2mm. The recurrence of these issues suggests a failure to proactively replace consumables before they reach critical levels. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. Between the May 2025 and April 2026 tests, the car covered 8,045 miles, indicating regular use rather than long periods of standing. While the mileage itself is typical for a modern SUV, the specific wear on the tyres indicates that the vehicle is being driven with minimal attention to routine mechanical upkeep. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and alignment geometry to address the noted edge wear on the tyres. Edge wear on front tyres often points to incorrect camber settings, worn control arm bushes, or failing steering components that the MOT did not explicitly flag. The presence of a child seat during the 2026 test prevented a full inspection of the adult seat belt, so the buyer should manually check the webbing and tensioning mechanism for fraying or damage to ensure it remains within specification.
