2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · EN17 RWK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent period of mechanical instability. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 90,666 miles passed without defects, it followed a failure just three weeks prior at 90,622 miles. That failure identified a missing offside rear road wheel fixing alongside multiple emission failures involving hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, and lambda sensor readings. The fact that the vehicle passed immediately after these failures suggests the owner addressed the engine management issues and hardware promptly to rectify the faults. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use-case vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. The record shows steady usage, moving from 39,880 miles in December 2020 to 90,666 miles by August 2025. There is no evidence of long periods of inactivity that would lead to dry rot or fluid degradation, though the accumulation of over 6,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates consistent load on the drivetrain and suspension. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and emissions health during a physical inspection. The history shows a recurring pattern of wear, with thin pads noted in both 2021 and 2023, and worn front discs identified in late 2023. Given the emission failure in August 2025, a diagnostic scan is advisable to verify the health of the lambda sensor and catalytic converter to ensure the fault does not return. Checking the tyres is also vital, as previous tests flagged issues with uneven wear and perishing, which may point to alignment problems or suspension component fatigue.
