2020 Hyundai Tucson SE NAV48V Mhev Crdi 2WD 1.6L Electric diesel · EX70 VLD

A consistent track record of roadworthiness characterizes this vehicle, which has avoided any MOT failures across its recorded history, though the most recent test on 12 February 2026 shifted the trend by introducing advisories for the rear tyres. Prior to this, the 2024 and 2025 inspections were completed without any defects or advisories, indicating a period of stability in the vehicle's mechanical condition. The recorded mileage of 49,257 miles over approximately six years equates to an annual average of roughly 8,210 miles. This represents a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age, suggesting that the wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and other consumables is likely proportional to its time in service, without the complications associated with extreme high-mileage wear or the degradation caused by long periods of standing. Immediate attention should be given to the rear tyres, as the latest inspection flagged both the nearside and offside rear tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and out of shape. A physical inspection should be conducted to check for uneven tread wear on the edges and any visible distortion of the tyre carcass. During the test drive, listen for abnormal humming or vibration from the rear axle and monitor for any instability during cornering, which can be symptoms of tyres that have lost their structural profile. Beyond the tyres, the absence of previous flags for suspension bushes, brake pipes, or corrosion suggests the chassis remains in a satisfactory state. However, a thorough check of the steering response and braking efficiency is advised to ensure no new issues have developed since the February test. Pay particular attention to any steering pull or pedal judder that could indicate wear not yet captured in the DVSA records.
