2020 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · FN20 LLD

The 2020 Hyundai Tucson presents a clean bill of health as of its most recent MOT on 2nd January 2026 at 26,153 miles, where the tester recorded zero defects. The maintenance trend is stable and, by the evidence of the record, improving. The only advisory cluster appeared in the April 2023 test at 5,485 miles, where the tester flagged perishing or cracking across three tyres. That issue was resolved by the December 2023 test at 6,340 miles, and the vehicle has passed every subsequent test without any advisories or failures. No recurring structural, mechanical, or braking faults appear in the history. The mileage profile is notably low. Across roughly six years, the odometer has risen by just 26,153 miles, averaging approximately 4,359 miles per year. The jump between the April 2023 test at 5,485 miles and the December 2023 test at 6,340 miles represents only 855 miles in eight months. The next recorded interval, from December 2023 at 6,340 miles to December 2024 at 14,267 miles, shows a sharper increase of 7,927 miles over twelve months, suggesting a change in usage pattern. The final interval, from 14,267 miles in December 2024 to 26,153 miles in January 2026, adds 11,886 miles in roughly thirteen months, confirming the vehicle is now being driven more regularly. Despite these variations, the overall mileage remains well below the UK average for a six-year-old vehicle. With no active advisories or mechanical defects on record, the primary area for a buyer to inspect in person is the tyre condition and age. The 2023 advisory specifically cited perishing and cracking, which points to the age of the rubber rather than wear. Even if tread depth is sufficient, a buyer should check the date stamps on all four tyres and the spare, as tyres over six years old can degrade internally regardless of apparent condition. Given the low mileage and the likelihood that the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, a thorough underbody inspection is also advisable. Look for surface corrosion on suspension components, brake lines, and subframes, as standing vehicles can develop localised rust in areas that would normally be kept in check by regular use. The braking system and suspension should be road-tested for any signs of binding or uneven wear, particularly if the car has covered short trips or sat unused for long stretches.
