2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · EY18 WCL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its history of consistent pass results. The most recent inspection on 10 October 2025 at 38,296 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure entry on the same day that listed no faults. This anomaly likely represents a clerical administrative error or a minor rectification that was immediately addressed, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record across all previous tests. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,787 miles per year. Data from the March 2023 test at 28,777 miles to the October 2025 test at 38,296 miles shows a steady usage rate of roughly 3,100 miles per annum. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on drivetrain components and engine-related parts. However, such low mileage can sometimes lead to dry rot of rubber components or seals if the car has sat stationary for extended periods between uses. Since the MOT record shows no structural corrosion, suspension failures, or brake issues, a buyer should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Inspect the tyres for flat spots or sidew cracking due to age rather than tread depth. Check the brake discs for surface pitting, which often occurs on vehicles that are used infrequently. Verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as age-related degradation can occur independently on older vehicles that are not moved frequently.
