2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · EY18 VGZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection on 31 October 2025 at 65,489 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an unexplained failure just three days prior at 65,475 miles. While the record does not specify the reason for that failure, the immediate clearance suggests the issue was rectified quickly before the re-test, resulting in a clean sheet for the current period. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,186 miles per year. Between the October 2022 test at 41,947 miles and the October 2024 test at 57,152 miles, the car covered 15,205 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The subsequent interval of 8,337 miles leading up to the 2025 test maintains this trend. This low annual mileage generally indicates less wear on high-stress drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage examples. Given that the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that the MOT does not fully capture. A buyer should check for cracking in rubber components and control arm bushes, which can perish over time regardless of low mileage due to age. The state of the brake discs for corrosion and the condition of the tyres for uneven wear are also relevant. Since the record is clean, the physical verification of the service history is necessary to ensure oil changes and fluid replacements were performed between these annual intervals.
