2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · FG18 HYX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in April 2026 at 101,014 miles with no recorded defects. However, the maintenance trend shows a history of reactive neglect regarding consumable components and minor adjustments. While the most recent test indicates a clean bill, the preceding years reveal a pattern where the owner only addressed issues once they reached legal limits or near failure points, rather than performing preventative maintenance. At over 100,000 miles in eight years, this Tucson has averaged approximately 12,600 miles per annum, which sits above the national average for a passenger vehicle. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between the April 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 12,000 miles covered in the final year. This high level of usage places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which aligns with the recurring mechanical issues noted in the service history. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, as the record flags uneven tyre wear across 2022, 2024, and 2025. The persistent wear on the inner and outer edges of multiple tyres suggests either chronic misalignment or worn suspension bushes and ball joints. Additionally, the parking brake system requires attention; the tester flagged insufficient reserve travel in both 2022 and 2024. Given that the 2025 test also noted thin front brake pads, a thorough check of the brake discs and calipers is necessary to ensure there is no binding or excessive thinning resulting from the high mileage.
