2020 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · EX70 TWJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred servicing of wearing components. The most recent test in October 2025 at 58,064 miles identified multiple issues including thin front brake pads and discs, alongside a slight play in the offside front outer track rod end. This represents a regression from the clean record seen in late 2023, suggesting that components are reaching the end of their functional life without proactive replacement. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,677 miles per year. There is a 7,219-mile interval between the November 2024 and October 2025 tests, which indicates steady annual use. While the total mileage is not excessive for a Tucson, the rapid appearance of brake wear between 50,845 and 58,064 miles suggests that the previous owners were only addressing faults when they trigger an advisory or failure rather than during scheduled service intervals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system, as the history shows consistently worn discs and pads across the last two tests. The tester flagged pitted and scored discs on the nearside front in 2025, which necessitates a full replacement alongside the pads. Additionally, the offside front track rod end noted for play must be checked to ensure steering geometry has not developed a significant fault that could cause uneven tyre wear. The 2023 failure regarding parking brake efficiency and insufficient travel indicates that the hydraulic system was previously neglected. While these issues were resolved for the subsequent pass, the recurring nature of the mechanical faults suggests the vehicle requires a thorough under inspection. Inspect the current suspension bushings for signs of tearing and verify that the track rod end has been replaced since the 2025 advisory.
