2018 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Diesel · EF18 LHP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 94,310 miles passed, the tester flagged thin-out front brake pads and significant issues with the nearside rear tyre. This represents a decline compared to the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that servicing may be deferred until the MOT interval. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase, moving from 50,603 miles in 2022 to 94,310 miles in 2026. The jump of over 14,000 miles between the 2025 and 2026 indicates the vehicle is currently being used for regular potentially long-distance travel, which explains the accelerated wear on consumables and braking components noted in the latest inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and alignment given the recurring reports of uneven tyre wear in both 2022 and 2026. The fact that multiple inner tyres were worn to the legal limit on the edges suggests tracking geometry issues or worn suspension bushes that require immediate attention. The nearside rear tyre has been flagged for cracking and perishing across two consecutive years in 2025 and 2026, indicating the rubber is aging poorly regardless of the remaining tread depth.
