2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · EK18 FSS

The 2018 Hyundai Tucson with 80,381 miles is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2026-03-26. The vehicle's maintenance trend appears to be improving, as the initial failure in March 2026 due to exhaust emissions issues was promptly addressed, resulting in a pass after retest. This suggests that the current owner is responsive to maintenance needs. The recorded mileage of 80,381 miles over approximately eight years is consistent with an average of 10,048 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or rapid mileage accumulations noted in the provided MOT history, indicating a steady and regular use pattern. The data does not suggest any periods of inactivity or unusually high usage, which is generally positive for the vehicle's overall condition. Recurring faults in the MOT history include brake pad and disc wear, as well as minor suspension issues. In the 2025 test at 67,061 miles, both front brake pads were wearing thin, and the front brake discs were worn but not excessively. Additionally, the offside rear suspension arm pin or bush was noted as worn. These components should be inspected for any signs of further wear or degradation. The 2024 test at 52,793 miles also flagged the front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit, and the front service brakes were fluctuating slightly. A buyer should pay particular attention to the braking system and suspension, ensuring that these components have been properly maintained and are in good working order. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, it is advisable to conduct a thorough inspection of the exhaust system, especially focusing on the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, to ensure there are no underlying issues that could lead to future emissions failures. Additionally, the structural integrity and any signs of corrosion should be checked, although no specific advisories related to structural rust were noted in the MOT history.
