2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · DS67 MXY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in February 2026 at 82,978 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent period of instability, evidenced by a failure just nine days prior in January 2026. That failure flagged high exhaust carbon monoxide levels and electrical lighting issues with the offside headlamp. While these faults were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, the emissions failure suggests a potential engine combustion issue or sensor fault that required immediate attention to resolve. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. There is a noticeable increase in usage between January 2024 and January 2025, where the car covered 15,823 miles in a single year, compared to the 13,131 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This acceleration in mileage often leads to accelerated wear on consumable components, which aligns with the thinning brake pads and perishing rubber noted in the history. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyres, as the January 2025 test noted thin rear brake pads and the 2024 test highlighted perishing and damage on both front tyres. The offside headlamp alignment also needs verification to ensure the recent repair following the failure was executed correctly. Given the recent emissions failure, monitoring the engine for any signs of blue or black smoke or rough idling is advisable to ensure the catalytic converter or oxygen sensors are not nearing the point of failure.
