2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · EO18 GZX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in May 2023 at 41,498 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a perishing nearside rear tyre. This represents a significant improvement over the June 2022 failure where the vehicle was rejected due to multiple tyre defects and degraded rear brake discs. At 41,498 miles over eight years, the Tucson has averaged approximately 5,187 miles per year. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has not seen heavy long-distance use. However, there is a concerning gap in the record as the last recorded test was conducted in May 2023. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle is three years overdue for its annual MOT test. Low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted in the 2021 and 2022 records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking system and the tyre condition. The history shows pitted and corroded brake discs in 2022, and while these may have been replaced, the buyer should check for uneven wear or sticking calipers now. The recurring issues with tyre damage and perishing suggest the car may have sat stationary for long periods, which can cause flat spots or internal rot. Furthermore, the 2021 note regarding restricted inspections due to the under tray and floor pan covers necessitates a visual check of the chassis to ensure no structural corrosion is hidden beneath the plasticwork.
