2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · DN66 PBV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and improving maintenance trend. Following a minor-related failure in December 2022, the Tucson has passed its three most recent MOT tests with zero recorded defects. This de-tails a sequence of clean passes in late 2023 and 2024, indicating that the mechanical and safety components have remained within acceptable DVSA tolerances over the last three testing cycles. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. Between December 2023 and December 2025, the vehicle covered 11,937 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 6,000 miles per year. This regularity suggests the car is subjected to predictable use rather than long periods of stagnation which often leads to seized components or perished seals, or accelerated wear typically associated with high-mileage motorway commuting. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the minor issues previously noted in the 2022 test. While the handbrake was noted to travel and the wipers were smeared at that time, the lack of subsequent advisories suggests these were addressed. However, the buyer should still verify the handbrake tension and check the condition of the suspension bushes for any uneven wear. Given the vehicle's age, a visual check of the chassis and underbody for corrosion remains standard practice, though the MOT record does not flag any structural integrity concerns.
