2019 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · DP19 XRM

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass on February 18, 2026, at 54,983 miles. This recent result indicates that the mechanical and safety defects identified in the previous year have been addressed. While the history shows a pattern of reactive maintenance where faults are rectified after failure, the immediate clearance in the latest test suggests the current owner is willing to perform necessary repairs to maintain legal road standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,855 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression with 14,970 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, followed by approximately 8,592 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing the shrinkage or corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, specifically the offside rear assembly. The tester flagged a binding brake caliper in February 2025 at 46,390 miles, and although it passed the retest three days later, binding issues often indicate a sticking piston or seized slider pin. A physical inspection is required to check for uneven pad wear or excessive heat discoloration on the disc. Additionally, the 2024 failure regarding structural tyre bulges and perishing across multiple corners suggests a history of neglecting rubber components, so the current age and condition of all tyres must be verified to ensure they have not reached the end of their structural life.
