2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · DS67 MXM

The 2017 Hyundai Tucson presents a stable and generally improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 22 July 2025 at 67,065 miles. The most recent test flagged only minor wear items, specifically rear brake pads wearing thin and both rear brake discs worn, though not excessively. This is a significant improvement over the preceding years, where multiple advisories were recorded. The absence of any new suspension or structural defects in the latest test suggests previous minor issues have been monitored and have not escalated into serious mechanical risks. The mileage accumulation of roughly 7,452 miles per year is typical for a vehicle of this age, indicating consistent use rather than prolonged standing or exceptionally high annual mileage. The record shows a steady progression from 34,638 miles in November 2021 to 67,065 miles by July 2025, with no anomalous gaps or sudden jumps in the data. The testing pattern is also consistent, with annual MOTs conducted each July from 2022 to 2025, apart from the November 2021 entry, which suggests a slight shift in the testing cycle but no concerning lapses in roadworthiness checks. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during an in-person inspection. The rear brake components have appeared as advisories in both the 2024 and 2025 tests, indicating a recurring wear pattern that may require imminent replacement of pads and discs. The front brake discs were noted as worn and lipped in the November 2021 test at 34,638 miles, and while this did not reappear in subsequent records, the mileage has since more than doubled, so a thorough check of front disc thickness and condition is warranted. The front tyres were flagged as worn on the edges in both 2021 and 2024, a pattern that often points to tracking or alignment issues rather than simple neglect, so a four-wheel alignment check is advisable. The slight play recorded in the offside front suspension arm ball joint in July 2023 at 51,670 miles did not reappear in the 2024 or 2025 tests, which is encouraging. However, any play in a ball joint can be intermittent, and a physical inspection with the front end loaded remains prudent. Overall, the record reflects a vehicle that has been maintained to a reasonable standard, with no structural corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or serious defects documented across the entire history. The recurring minor wear items are consistent with a vehicle approaching 70,000 miles and do not indicate systemic neglect.
