2019 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · EA19 FOD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 61,440 miles resulted in an initial failure due to an ineffective offside windscreen wiper and significant wear across all four tyres and brake pads. While the vehicle passed upon rectification, the accumulation of multiple consumable faults suggests that the previous owner was waiting until the MOT deadline approached before addressing essential service items. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 37,302 miles and March 2025 at 54,388 miles, the car covered 17,086 miles, indicating a steady rate of use. The subsequent 7,052 miles recorded up to February 2026 follow a similar usage profile. This consistency suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which typically prevents the internal mechanical issues often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the record repeatedly notes tyres worn on the edges in both 2025 and 2026. This recurring issue often points to misalignment or worn suspension bushes that will cause premature tyre replacement. The recent failure for thin brake pads on all axles in the 2026 test indicates that the braking system is nearing a major overhaul. You should check the discs for scoring or uneven wear to ensure the thin pads have not already damaged the rotors.
