2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · EF17 ACO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of clean passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 May 2025 at 63,847 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems currently meet the minimum legal standards. This follows a clean pass in 2023, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures or significant degradation of structural components. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per annum. Between May 2022 at 40,262 miles and May 2023 at 47,518 miles, the car covered 7,256 miles, a figure that aligns with the subsequent years. The brief failure on 23 May 2024 at 56,506 miles, followed by a pass just one day later on 24 May 2024 at 56,509 miles, suggests a minor adjustment or a transient component issue that was rectified immediately without indicating a trend of neglect. Given the clean MOT record and relatively low mileage, a physical inspection should focus on components that age with time rather than wear from distance. A buyer should check the rubber suspension bushes and control arms for cracking, as these can perish over years despite low use. While the record does not flag brake corrosion or exhaust rust, the tester should verify the brake discs for pitting and ensure the low mileage has not led to seized calipers or degraded fluid in the braking system.
