2019 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · FL19 ROU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026 with 57,417 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest test advisory indicates a minor mechanical issue that requires attention. While the vehicle achieved two clean passes in previous years, the recent flagging of a high handbrake and a brake slack adjuster suggests that the parking brake mechanism is beginning to show signs of wear or requires adjustment. The mileage profile is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per annum. There is a significant usage gap between February 2023 at 21,316 miles and January 2024 at 40,908 miles, where the car covered nearly 20,000 miles in under a year. Since then, the usage has moderated considerably, covering roughly 16,500 miles over the following two years. This pattern suggests a period of high-intensity use followed by a return to more typical lower mileage habits. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the handbrake system to determine if the slack adjuster needs a simple adjustment or if the rear shoes and cables are worn. The failure in January 2024 regarding mismatched tyres on the offside front axle indicates a previous lapse in basic maintenance by a prior owner, so a physical check to ensure all tyres are of matching size and specification is essential. Since no structural corrosion or suspension failures have been recorded in the history, the focus should remain on the braking components and the general condition of the rubberwork.
