2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · DS66 DXR

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive service pattern rather than proactive care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 110,864 miles shows a pass following an immediate failure for critical front tyre tread depths and fluctuating front service brakes. While the vehicle currently meets the minimum standard, the recurring nature of consumable failures suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues when they resulted in a test failure. At 110,864 miles over ten years, the Hyundai Tucson averages approximately 11,000 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a family SUV of this age. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 13,500 miles covered between the September 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 12,440 miles recorded before the most recent inspection. This consistent use indicates the vehicle is driven regularly, which typically prevents predictable wear on components like the suspension bushings and drivetrain. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension assembly. The 2025 failure flagged fluctuating front service brakes, which often indicates warped or thin brake discs that require replacement rather than simple resurfacing. Furthermore, the 2023 record noted an ABS fault and thinning rear brake pads; while these may have been rectified, the buyer should verify the ABS warning lamp remains off during a test drive and check for uneven wear on the pads. The history also shows a persistent disregard for tyre management, with multiple failures for low tread depth and perishing rubber across 2023 and 2025, necessitating a check of the current tyres' age and structural condition.
