2016 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Diesel · EY16 HFE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passing MOT on October 24 2025 at 66,230 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent period of instability evidenced by a significant failure just one day prior. While the car maintained a clean record throughout 2024 and early 2025, the October 2025 failure highlighted multiple simultaneous mechanical and electronic issues that required immediate attention to achieve compliance for the re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-average-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between January 2024 at 53,770 miles and October 2025 at 66,230 miles, the car covered over 12,000 miles, suggesting steady and regular usage. This relatively low annual mileage typically limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or corrosion on brake components if the vehicle has been left stationary for long periods between these tests. A buyer must specifically inspect the parking brake system, as the October 2025 failure flagged an inoperative nearside rear parking brake and overall efficiency below legal requirements. Although this was rectified, a physical check should verify that the mechanism is properly adjusted and that the calipers are not seizing. The recorded failure of the engine malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) also suggests an electronic fault or a blown bulb that was addressed, which warrants a diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden fault codes remain in the engine management system. The record also noted a windscreen wiper blade failing to clear the glass, a minor consumable issue that indicates a potential oversight in basic maintenance. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion or suspension advisories in the history, the primary focus should remain on ensuring the repairs made after the October 2025 failure were robust. The vehicle appears to have been generally well-kept, provided the recent mechanical and electronic faults are now performing correctly under driving conditions.
