2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · EO17 EVJ

The Hyundai Tucson passed its most recent MOT on 20 March 2026 at 84,883 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy at the time of test. The maintenance trend is stable on paper, though the record shows a recurring pattern of initial failures followed by quick passes, which points to administrative or presentation issues rather than progressive mechanical decline. Mileage sat at 58,885 in March 2024, rose to 70,252 by the failed test on 20 March 2025, and reached 84,883 by the March 2026 pass, averaging under 10,000 miles a year across the span. The annual accumulation is consistent with typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The DVSA data is sparse, with no advisories or listed defects across any entry, so the file gives little insight into wear on consumables or hidden corrosion. The two failures on 12 March 2026 at 84,531 miles and 20 March 2025 at 70,252 miles carry no recorded defects, suggesting the car was presented without a valid prior certificate or with paperwork discrepancies rather than broken components. A buyer should still inspect brake discs, suspension bushes, and underbody structural integrity in person, since the clean record offers no early warning of wear in those areas. Given the absent advisories, verify the exhaust emissions and coil springs during a hands-on check. The rapid re-test after each failure implies the seller addressed a non-mechanical blocker; previous owners likely kept the car legally tested but left little trace of routine upkeep beyond the pass results.
