2022 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate T-GDI HEV Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FP22 NFU

The most recent MOT recorded on 25 June 2026 resulted in a failure due to a front windscreen wiper that does not clear the glass effectively, with the wiper blades identified as split. Apart from this isolated fault, the vehicle has passed its previous MOT in May 2025 with no recorded defects, indicating an otherwise stable maintenance record. The single minor failure suggests that routine upkeep has been generally adequate, and the issue is easily remedied rather than symptomatic of broader neglect. With 35,343 miles logged on a 2022 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate T‑GDI HEV, the average annual mileage works out at roughly 8,800 miles per year. This figure sits comfortably within the typical UK usage pattern for a four‑year‑old family SUV and does not point to any periods of excessive short‑trip abuse or prolonged inactivity. Consequently, wear on consumables such as brake pads, tyres and suspension components should be proportionate to age rather than accelerated by high mileage. The immediate item to address is the wiper assembly. Replace the front wiper blades with the correct Hyundai specification and verify that the wiper motor operates smoothly without binding or excessive noise. During a test drive, listen for any irregular whine from the motor and watch for streaking or incomplete clearing of the windscreen, especially at higher speeds and in wet conditions. While the wiper fault is minor, it is worth confirming that the washer fluid pump and nozzle are delivering a steady spray, as a compromised system can reduce visibility in adverse weather. Given the vehicle’s age of four years, a thorough visual inspection should also cover tyre sidewalls for age‑related cracking or dry rot, even if tread depth appears acceptable. The hybrid’s 12‑volt starter battery should be load‑tested, and the high‑voltage traction battery’s health can be confirmed via a dealer‑level diagnostic to ensure capacity remains within warranty limits. Inspect the brake discs for surface rust and verify that the pads have sufficient remaining material; any pulsation or shudder when applying the brakes would indicate the need for resurfacing or replacement. Finally, check the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs and any visible exhaust components for corrosion, and confirm that the service book shows timely oil, coolant and brake fluid changes in line with Hyundai’s recommended intervals. These checks will give a prospective buyer confidence that the Tucson remains mechanically sound and road‑worthy.
