Our Verdict
This 2020 Hyundai Tucson N Line T-GDI 2WD shows mixed reliability signals. While the 2025 MOT was clean, previous failures highlight potential maintenance risks that require careful inspection.
Prioritise checking the brake pads and tyres for signs of neglect. Verify service records to confirm if the 2024 MOT failures were addressed. Negotiate based on the 2024 failure, but the recent pass suggests recent maintenance. Be cautious of potential brake system wear given the 2023 MOT notes about thin pads.
Petrol fuel economy is expected to be around 35-40 mpg for the 1.6L engine. As a Euro 6 DG vehicle, it incurs £0 road tax. Insurance group is likely mid-range (15-20), costing £500-£700 annually. Maintenance costs could reach £200-£300 yearly for brake replacements and tyre changes. Estimated annual running cost: £1,000-£1,300.
Focus on the front brake pads (check thickness and replacement history) and tyres (inspect tread depth and wear patterns). Test the windscreen wiper for effectiveness. Inspect the underbody for corrosion and review service records for brake work. Check for any unreported MOT failures in the vehicle's history.
The vehicle has a clean 2025 MOT but previously failed in 2024 due to worn tyres and brake pads. At 46,258 miles (below average for its age), it shows reasonable usage but requires scrutiny of brake components and tyre condition. No broader model reliability data is available.
No aggregate data available for this specific model, but Hyundai generally maintains good reliability ratings. This vehicle's MOT history suggests potential maintenance risks not typical of the brand's overall performance.
