2019 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · EW19 GGP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in suspension and tyre upkeep. The most recent test on 11 June 2026 at 74,053 miles flagged a defect regarding play in the nearside track rod end ball joint and a worn nearside rear tyre. This follows an advisory from the June 2025 test at 68,129 miles where the same track rod end issue was noted, indicating that this component was not addressed despite the previous warning. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. There was a significant jump of 15,000 miles between July 2022 and June 2023, followed by more modest annual accumulations of roughly 3,000 to 6,000 miles. The clean-record years from the 2023 and 2024 tests suggest a period where the vehicle was in a well-maintained state before the recent emergence of mechanical wear in the steering system. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension components, as the recurring track rod end fault suggests potential issues with other steering-related ball joints or bushings. The 2022 record noted worn front brake discs, and given the mileage covered since then, the current thickness of the pads and discs should be physically verified. Additionally, the recurring mention of edge wear on tyres in both 2022 and 2026 indicates a possible alignment issue that requires professional adjustment to prevent premature tyre replacement.
