2019 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · DP69 WGF

This 2019 Hyundai Tucson has covered approximately 61,784 miles, which is a typical annual usage rate for a vehicle of this age. The history suggests a car that has been driven regularly rather than left standing, which is generally a positive sign for the health of the engine and ancillary components. The MOT history shows a concerning recurring issue with the offside front track rod end. This fault was first flagged as an advisory in November 2025 and remained present during the most recent test in February 2026. Because this component has shown play over two consecutive tests, it indicates that the steering geometry is likely compromised and the part is deteriorating. While the car passed its latest MOT, this is a safety-critical item that requires immediate attention. The vehicle’s overall condition appears stable, as the 2024 tyre failure was a singular event likely caused by impact damage rather than systemic neglect. However, the persistence of the track rod end play suggests a lack of proactive maintenance or repair following the initial advisory. When inspecting the vehicle in person, your first priority must be to check the steering and suspension. Specifically, look for uneven tyre wear on the front axle, which is a classic symptom of a failing track rod end.
