Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent mecha
When negotiating, use the recent MOT failure history as leverage. The March 2026 failure specifically cited a front oil leak and a worn rear trailing arm bush; you should confirm that these specific issues were professionally rectified and not just 'noted' during the test.
Request a detailed service history to see if the oil leak is a known issue for this 1.6L petrol engine. Given the 2024 failure involving multiple brake discs, pads, and fluid levels, check that the braking system has been fully overhauled and not just patched up. Ask for receipts for the suspension work mentioned in the 2026 failure to ensure the rear trailing arm bush was replaced.
As a 1.6L petrol model, running costs will be moderate compared to smaller city cars but higher than diesel equivalents. You should expect average fuel economy for a mid-sized SUV of this era.
Tax and insurance will depend on the specific insurance group, but the 1591cc engine typically sits in a mid-range bracket. Maintenance costs may be slightly higher in the short term if the recent oil leak or suspension issues require further attention. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle is approximately £1,400-£1,700, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
A primary focus must be the engine bay and undercarriage to inspect the front oil leak mentioned in the March 2026 MOT. Even if the record states it was 'not excessive', you should check for signs of seepage around gaskets or seals.
Secondly, inspect the rear suspension. The 2026 failure noted an excessively worn offside rear trailing arm bush; check for any knocking sounds or instability when driving over uneven surfaces. Finally, given the extensive brake failures in 2024 (including pitted discs and thin pads), perform a thorough check of the remaining brake components and fluid clarity to ensure the system is fully compliant.
This 2019 grey Hyundai Tucson has covered 56,339 miles, which is above the model average of 8,043 miles per year. The MOT history shows a mix of results, including a clean pass in 2025 but notable failures in 2024 regarding braking components and a more recent failure in March 2026 involving an oil leak and suspension wear. The vehicle's mileage and recent defect history suggest it has been used more intensively than the typical example in this dataset.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 85.5% MOT pass rate across 119,527 vehicles, suggesting generally consistent standards across the fleet.
