2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · F13 JAL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its latest test in September 2025 at 125,438 miles, it failed that same test due to front tyre tread depths reaching the legal limit and uneven wear. This indicates that the previous owner only addressed critical consumable issues once an MOT failure was imminent, suggesting a lack of routine pre-inspection of safety-critical components. At nine years old, the 125,438 miles recorded on this Tucson represents a high average of nearly 14,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent and rapid mileage accumulation, with 16,800 miles driven between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 15,375 miles covered between 2024 and 2025. This high volume of use places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking system, which is consistent with the wear patterns observed on the mechanical components noted in the record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The 2024 test flagged pitted and scored front brake discs, and the 2025 failure highlighted edge wear on the offside front, which often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, recurring advisories for cracking and perishing on rear tyres across 2024, 2024, and 2025 suggest the rubber components are ageing poorly despite the tread depth. Verify the condition of the shock absorbers and control arm bushings to ensure the high-mileage usage has not led to structural fatigue or excessive play.
