2019 Hyundai Tucson PRM48V Mhev Crdi 2WD SA 1.6L Electric diesel · DP69 WGO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to mechanical upkeep. The most recent test in November 2025 at 79,471 miles resulted in a pass despite the offside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit and unevenly. This suggests an immediate need for tyre replacement. While the vehicle has passed its last three tests without failure, the history of brake issues highlights a pattern where components are only addressed once they approach failure. At 79,471 miles over seven years, the Tucson averages approximately 11,353 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a family SUV. The mileage progression shows consistent use between test dates, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between December 2023 and November 2024, and another 11,778 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This steady accumulation suggests that the mechanical components are subjected to regular wear rather than long periods of standing. A buyer must pay close attention to the braking system and suspension geometry. The December 2023 failure at 57,472 miles revealed significant issues, including thin pads on all four wheels and binding rear calipers. While these were corrected to achieve a pass, the recurring mention of binding suggests potentially sticking calipers or neglected slide pins. Furthermore, the uneven wear on the offside front tyre noted in 2025 points toward a possible alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. A physical inspection of the front suspension components and a check for brake disc temperatures are essential to ensure these issues are not causing premature wear on expensive components.
