2022 Hyundai Tucson Premium Tgdi Phev 4X4 A 1.6L Hybrid electric · DS71 HXG

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 28 January 2026 at 50,155 miles with zero defects recorded. The previous test on 9 January 2025 at 37,990 miles also passed without advisories or failures, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural issues have surfaced across the two recorded inspections. This is a strong record for a plug-in hybrid SUV of this age. Mileage accumulation is notably high for a 2022-registered vehicle, averaging approximately 12,539 miles per year. The interval between the two MOTs shows a jump of 12,165 miles in just under twelve months, suggesting sustained daily use rather than prolonged standing. Such mileage places above-average stress on consumable components, particularly brake discs and pads, suspension bushes, and drivetrain mounts, even though the MOT record itself remains unblemished. Despite the clean paperwork, a buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection focused on high-mileage wear items. The 4x4 drivetrain and PHEV battery system warrant particular attention; check for uneven tyre wear indicating neglected alignment, and inspect the underside for corrosion on subframes and suspension arms, which can develop rapidly under high annual mileage. Examine the condition of the brake calipers and discs, as plug-in hybrids rely heavily on regenerative braking, which can sometimes mask early-stage sticking or uneven pad deposition. The absence of any advisories is encouraging, but MOT tests only capture a snapshot. A pre-purchase inspection should include a diagnostic scan of the hybrid powertrain and a test drive over varied surfaces to detect any emerging suspension clunks or exhaust emissions anomalies not yet severe enough to trigger a failure.
