2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · EO67 LCA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on October 20 2025 with 78,997 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability following a period of reactive repairs regarding the braking system. While the early history indicates recurring issues with brake components, the clean pass in late 2025 suggests the current owner has addressed previous mechanical failures and is presently maintaining the vehicle effectively. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,777 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 7,200 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 7,600 miles covered in the following year. This regularity suggests the car has been used consistently rather than left to sit for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber seals and mechanical components within a modern Hyundai Tucson. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system as the record reveals a persistent pattern of premature wear. The October 2022 test flagged thin pads on both axles, and the October 2024 failure at 71,300 miles resulted from rear brake pads worn to the wear indicators alongside pitted and scored discs. While these were rectified to pass the subsequent retest, the frequency of these replacements suggests the buyer should inspect for sticking calipers or a faulty handbrake mechanism that might be causing the components to wear down faster than the standard intervals. In-person inspection should also verify the underbody condition. The 2022 advisory noted that splash guards and heat shields were obscuring areas of the underbody, which can prevent a tester from seeing a clear view of potential structural corrosion on the sills or chassis points. Given that no structural failures have occurred in the history, the frame likely remains sound, but a physical check of the mounting points is necessary to ensure no hidden rust has developed behind those protective covers.
