2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · FL18 XMF

The Hyundai Tucson presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 18 August 2025 at 71,864 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and resolving, given the vehicle cleared its final test cleanly after two earlier administrative failures that carried no recorded mechanical defects. Recorded mileage sits at 71,864 against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 8,983 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a 2018 crossover. The history shows sparse but consistent annual testing. The car covered 10,511 miles between the March 2023 pass at 55,338 miles and the March 2024 pass at 65,236 miles, then added only 6,628 miles across the following year to the 2025 tests. No rapid accumulation or prolonged standing gaps appear in the data. The March 2024 and March 2025 failures at 65,127 and 71,849 miles respectively list no defects, indicating the vehicle was rejected on documentation or procedural grounds rather than mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity, as the clean MOT record provides no evidence these components were assessed for wear beyond statutory emissions and lighting checks. Given the absence of any advisories across all five tests, previous owners appear to have maintained the Tucson to a basic pass standard without deferred consumable neglect. Verify service history and inspect for corrosion in chassis rails and sills, since MOT passes with zero advisories at this age do not confirm absence of developing rust.
