2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · EJ67 AEO

The 2017 Hyundai Tucson demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-07-04 confirming a pass at 73,261 miles. However, a failed test on the same date at 72,254 miles—without recorded defects—suggests potential procedural inconsistencies or unresolved issues. The absence of structural, braking, or suspension faults in passing tests indicates no immediate safety risks, though the repeated failures without defects raise questions about the accuracy of prior assessments. Mileage progression shows consistent annual usage of ~8,140 miles, aligning with typical wear patterns. The 2023-07-13 test at 58,574 miles and subsequent 2024-07-02 tests at 66,396 miles reveal regular servicing intervals, with no gaps exceeding 12 months. The 2025-07-04 test, just 12 months prior to the current date, confirms the vehicle’s compliance but does not address potential wear in components like suspension bushes or exhaust emissions, which may require closer inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension system for worn coil springs or bushings, as well as the exhaust for corrosion, given the vehicle’s age. Brake discs and calipers should be assessed for uneven wear or binding, while the structural integrity of the chassis should be verified to rule out hidden rust or damage. The lack of recorded defects in passing tests does not eliminate the need for a hands-on evaluation, particularly in areas prone to gradual deterioration.
