2022 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate Tgdi Phev 4X4A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · DS22 PUY

A spotless MOT record across four consecutive tests – most recently a pass on 26 May 2026 with no defects recorded – indicates that, at least to the standards checked by the DVSA, the vehicle has not exhibited any recurring safety‑critical faults or advisories. The consistency of clean results suggests that any wear or component degradation has remained within acceptable limits for the periods examined. At 38 443 miles the Tucson has accumulated roughly 9 600 miles per annum since its 2022 introduction, a mileage rate that sits squarely within normal usage for a family SUV. The MOT dates are evenly spaced, showing no prolonged gaps that might conceal untested deterioration, and the mileage progression appears linear rather than exhibiting sudden spikes that could hint at intensive short‑term use. With no specific MOT failures to flag, the buyer should focus on the components most likely to show wear on a vehicle of this age and mileage. Inspect the brake discs and pads for any uneven wear patterns, scoring, or excessive run‑out, and feel for pedal pulsation or a soft pedal under moderate braking. Examine the tyre tread depth and sidewalls for uneven wear that could point to mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes, and listen for any clunking over bumps that might reveal deteriorating control‑arm or trailing‑arm bushings. The hybrid power‑train should be checked for any warning lights, and a short idle test can confirm smooth operation of the electric motor and the gasoline engine without abnormal noises or vibrations. During a test drive, pay attention to steering feel – any pull to one side or a vague vibration at higher speeds could indicate wheel‑bearing wear or subtle suspension issues. Verify that the steering wheel returns to centre promptly after a turn, and listen for any rattles from the under‑carriage that might betray loose exhaust hangers or sub‑frame corrosion not captured by MOT checks. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection covering these areas will complement the clean MOT history and give a realistic picture of the vehicle’s current roadworthiness.
