2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · F21 LEA

The Hyundai Tucson presents a current MOT pass dated 15 January 2026 at 109,909 miles with no defects recorded, establishing roadworthy status. The maintenance trend across the DVSA history is stable, showing no mechanical advisories or failures attributable to component condition. On 15 January 2026 the tester first logged a fail at identical mileage with no defects listed, then issued a pass later that day. A similar pattern occurred on 8 and 9 January 2025, with a fail followed by a pass at 97,585 miles, both showing no defects. This recurring administrative anomaly suggests clerical or presentation errors rather than worsening mechanical risk. The recorded mileage of 109,909 against an eight-year-old vehicle equates to roughly 13,700 miles per year, which is high for a 2018 Tucson but not extreme. The odometer advanced from 86,320 at the January 2024 test to 97,585 by January 2025, then to 109,909 by January 2026, reflecting steady annual accumulation near 11,000 to 12,000 miles. No gaps appear in the testing cadence, with annual examinations completed each winter. The sparse record shows clean passes aside from the curious same-day fail entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of wear-prone components given the elevated mileage. The MOT logs flag no suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs or structural corrosion, yet high-distance use stresses these items. Examine tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, assess front and rear brake pad thickness, and check for play in steering linkage. Inspect underbody and sills for corrosion that a visual test might miss. The duplicate fail/pass records warrant a check of the V5C and any prior workshop invoices to confirm no suppressed faults. The overall evidence points to a consistently maintained vehicle with no recorded defects, but the anomalous failures mean the buyer must verify the true test history with DVSA before purchase.
