2009 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Petrol · FJ59 NHU

The 2009 Hyundai Tucson presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 12 May 2025 at 55,111 miles. The absence of any recorded defects in the most recent test indicates the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. A duplicate entry on 26 May 2022 shows a failure followed immediately by a pass at the same mileage, suggesting a minor rectification occurred that day, but the subsequent three years of flawless tests demonstrate consistent mechanical reliability. The recorded mileage equates to an annual average of roughly 3,242 miles, which is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. The annual test records confirm this steady, low accumulation: 48,104 miles in May 2022, 49,796 miles in May 2023, 52,153 miles in May 2024, and 55,111 miles in May 2025. This consistent yearly increase of approximately 2,000 to 2,300 miles rules out long-term standing or odometer irregularities, pointing instead to regular, short-journey usage. Despite the clean MOT record, the low annual mileage warrants a focused inspection of components susceptible to deterioration from short trips and age rather than wear. Examine the condition of rubber suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for perishing, as lack of regular high-speed travel can cause rubber to harden and crack. Check the exhaust system and underbody for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has spent periods stationary. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust and ensure the calipers are not binding, a common issue on vehicles that cover minimal distances.
