2016 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Diesel · EU66 NXR

The 2016 Hyundai Tucson presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 16 March 2026 at 60,520 miles passing with zero defects. The record shows a consistent pattern of annual passes stretching back to 2023, with no advisories or failures noted across any test. This indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a solid roadworthiness standard in recent years, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns flagged by DVSA testers. The mileage progression is steady and unremarkable, rising from 53,644 miles in March 2023 to 60,520 miles by March 2026, an accumulation of roughly 6,876 miles over three years. Annual tests have been completed each March without gaps, and the odometer readings align with the vehicle's age of approximately ten years, averaging just over 6,000 miles per year. There are no sudden jumps or suspicious drops in recorded mileage, suggesting regular and consistent use rather than long periods of dormancy or recent high-mileage punishment. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The Tucson's age and mileage mean consumable components such as tyres, brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes are likely approaching replacement intervals even if they have not yet triggered a failure. Pay close attention to the condition of the exhaust system, particularly the catalytic converter and DPF if fitted, as emissions-related faults can develop between tests. Check for any signs of corrosion on the underbody, sills, and around the rear suspension mounting points, as these are common areas of concern on older SUVs used in the UK climate. A short road test will reveal whether the gearbox, clutch, and engine mounts remain free from excessive vibration or noise. Inspect the steering rack and track rod ends for play, and verify that all suspension components, including coil springs and dampers, are free from leaks or damage. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but it does not substitute for a hands-on assessment by a qualified mechanic before purchase.
