2019 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · DP69 WGA

The 2019 Hyundai Tucson presents a stable and largely reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 18 November 2025 at 77,364 miles. The sole advisory on that date, an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, points to a minor alignment or suspension geometry issue rather than a serious mechanical failure. Looking back, the record shows a clear pattern of proactive brake maintenance. In the November 2023 test at 45,660 miles, both front and rear brake pads were flagged as wearing thin, indicating the owner addressed this consumable wear promptly before the next test. The two subsequent clean passes, including the most recent one, confirm that the braking system is now in good order with no further defects recorded. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a vehicle of this age. Between November 2022 and November 2024, the car covered 31,923 miles over two years, averaging roughly 15,960 miles annually. That figure then dropped noticeably in the final year, with zero miles recorded between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests. This gap suggests the vehicle may have been stood for an extended period or used very sparingly, which can introduce its own concerns such as flat-spotted tyres, brake surface corrosion, or stale fuel. The overall annualised average of approximately 11,052 miles remains within typical parameters for a seven-year-old vehicle. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and wheel alignment. The offside front tyre edge wear flagged in November 2025 is a classic indicator of toe misalignment or a worn suspension bush, possibly a track rod end or lower arm bush. Have the front end jacked and checked for play, and inspect the inner sidewalls of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns. Given the mileage gap in the final year, check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the handbrake mechanism has not seized. A brief road test will confirm whether the car tracks straight and the steering wheel sits level under gentle acceleration.
