2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · EN16 HMJ

This Hyundai Tucson has maintained a consistent MOT history with five consecutive annual passes, the most recent of which occurred just six months ago on 14 November 2025. No defects were recorded across any of the tests, indicating that the vehicle has not encountered any major mechanical or structural issues during its regular MOT assessments. The absence of advisories or failings suggests that previous owners have adhered to basic maintenance intervals, though this does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection to verify hidden wear or deferred servicing. The recorded mileage progression of approximately 9,400 miles per year aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, with the most recent interval covering 8,442 miles since the November 2024 test. This steady accumulation implies regular driving rather than prolonged neglect or extended periods of inactivity, which could have accelerated wear on components like suspension bushes or brake calipers. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear items such as the suspension geometry, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brake system—including pads, discs, and caliper binding—should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been driven in wet or salted conditions. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, as this model is susceptible to rust progression over time. Finally, the exhaust system should be examined for leaks or damage, as catalytic converter failures are common in this age range and often go unnoticed until they trigger an emissions advisory.
