2019 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · DP69 WGC

The 2019 Hyundai Tucson holds a valid MOT certificate dated 1 May 2026, passed at 52,767 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but punctuated by minor recurring advisories rather than escalating mechanical failure. The most recent test required a retest on the same day after the tester flagged both front wiper blades failing to clear the windscreen effectively and a perishing nearside rear tyre. These were rectified before the pass was issued, suggesting the faults were cosmetic or consumable rather than symptomatic of deeper neglect. A tyre defect has appeared in three of the last four tests, indicating either a slow puncture, sidewall damage from kerb contact, or a batch of deteriorating rubber that has persisted across multiple replacements. The mileage progression is consistent with typical use for a seven-year-old vehicle. Between the October 2022 test at 24,622 miles and the October 2023 test at 35,242 miles, the car covered 10,620 miles in twelve months. The following year, from October 2023 to November 2024, it added 7,676 miles, and by May 2026 it had reached 52,767 miles, a further 9,849 miles over roughly eighteen months. There are no alarming gaps or sudden drops in recorded mileage that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged storage. The annualised average sits close to 7,500 miles, which is unremarkable for a family SUV of this age. A buyer should inspect the nearside rear tyre carefully, as the advisory for cracking or perishing has recurred in November 2024 and again in May 2026. Check the sidewall for age-related weathering and confirm the tyre's date code to rule out old stock. The front wiper blades were replaced or repaired ahead of the May 2026 pass, so test the washer jets and blade pressure across the full sweep of the screen. The October 2022 test noted both front brake discs as worn, though not excessively, and both front tyres worn to the legal limit. At 52,767 miles, the braking system deserves a thorough inspection: measure disc thickness and run-out, and check the calipers for any sign of binding or uneven pad wear. The TPMS warning illuminated in November 2024 and the low coolant advisory from the same test were not flagged in subsequent years, but a pressure check of all four sensors and a coolant level inspection remain prudent. No structural corrosion, suspension defects, or exhaust emissions failures appear in the record, which is a positive sign for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
