2022 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate Tgdi Phev 4X4A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · EX22 CYY

The most recent MOT carried out on 3 March 2026 was passed with no recorded defects, following a clean pass on 27 February 2025. The absence of any advisories or failures across two consecutive annual tests indicates a stable maintenance pattern and suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition without emerging mechanical issues during the official inspections. At four years old the Tucson has logged 30 174 miles, equating to an average of roughly 7 500 miles per annum. This usage sits comfortably within the typical UK ownership range for a family SUV and does not point to any excessive wear cycles. The mileage record shows no large gaps that would imply prolonged periods of inactivity, which can sometimes lead to corrosion or fluid degradation, nor does it suggest a high‑stress, high‑kilometre usage that would accelerate wear on suspension bushings, brake components or drivetrain bearings. For a prospective buyer the primary focus should be on age‑related items rather than mileage‑driven wear. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for any cracking, dry rot or tread feathering, as rubber can perish after several years even with modest use. Examine the 12 V auxiliary battery terminals and check for corrosion, and consider a load test to confirm it still holds charge, especially if the vehicle has spent time on a stand. The PHEV high‑voltage battery should be verified for health via a diagnostic scan; look for any warning lights on the instrument cluster and ask for the state‑of‑health percentage, as capacity can diminish with age regardless of miles. Verify that the brake discs are free of deep scoring or excessive rust and that the calipers move smoothly without binding, which can occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. Finally, confirm that the service book shows timely oil, filter and coolant changes in line with Hyundai’s recommended intervals, and that the 4‑wheel‑drive system has had its differential fluids inspected or replaced as per the schedule. A visual check of the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion or cracked hangers, and a brief road test listening for any clunk or squeak from the front suspension bushes, coil springs and anti‑roll bar links, will round out a thorough pre‑purchase evaluation. If all these points are satisfactory, the Tucson presents as a mechanically sound, low‑mileage vehicle with no recorded MOT concerns.
