2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · EY67 AAN

The 2017 Hyundai Tucson has demonstrated stable roadworthiness in its most recent MOT on 2025-10-29 at 98,883 miles, with no defects recorded. This follows a 2024-10-28 test at 83,648 miles also passing without issues. However, two prior failures in 2024-10-25 (83,642 miles) and 2023-10-25 (69,908 miles) occurred without recorded defects, suggesting potential unresolved minor faults or procedural errors. The absence of recurring mechanical issues in the last two tests implies the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard, though the earlier failures warrant scrutiny for underlying problems that may have been addressed. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging ~10,987 miles annually. A notable jump from 69,811 miles (2023-10-31) to 83,648 miles (2024-10-28) reflects consistent annual usage, though the 15,235-mile increase between 2024-10-28 and 2025-10-29 exceeds the average. This could indicate heavier driving or infrequent MOTs, but no excessive wear is evident from the records. The lack of defects in the most recent test suggests the vehicle’s systems have not deteriorated significantly despite this mileage growth. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The absence of corrosion reports in the MOTs does not preclude hidden rust, especially in underbody areas. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these can develop over time. The exhaust system’s integrity is also critical, as leaks or damage may not always trigger MOT failures. A thorough pre-purchase inspection should verify these elements to confirm the vehicle’s continued reliability.
