2020 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Diesel · DY20 YRZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with the rear suspension. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 44,144 miles passed, it carried forward an advisory for a worn offside several suspension trailing arm bush. This specific defect was also noted during the 2024 test, indicating that while the component has not yet reached a point of failure, the wear has not been addressed despite multiple inspections. The' pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,350 miles per year. There is a clear gap of roughly 7,000 miles between the August 2023 test at 35,552 miles and the August 2024 test at 42,490 miles. This steady accumulation suggests typical road use, though the sudden failure in 2024 for a nearside track rod end indicates that certain steering components are subject to standard wear at this mileage. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension geometry and ensure the offside rear trailing arm bush is replaced. The failure in August 2024 at 42,488 miles for a track rod end with excessive play was rectified to allow passing, but the buyer should verify that the steering remains precise and without vibration. Given the recurring advisory on the rear bush, checking for rubber cracking or excessive movement under load is necessary to prevent a future MOT failure.
