2022 Hyundai Tucson SE Connect T-GDI 1.6L Petrol · FP22 RUY

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson SE Connect T-GDI presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 2 April 2026 at 48,693 miles. No defects were recorded during this inspection, nor during the preceding tests, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required roadworthiness standards without any advisories. The identical mileage recorded for both the failed and passed tests on 11 April 2025 suggests a same-day retest following a minor initial failure, though the specific defect was rectified immediately given the subsequent clean pass and the absence of any recurring issues. At roughly four years old with 48,693 miles on the clock, the vehicle has averaged approximately 12,173 miles annually, which sits above the national average. However, the mileage accumulation tells a slightly different story recently. Between the April 2025 test at 42,468 miles and the April 2026 test at 48,693 miles, the Tucson covered just 6,225 miles over a twelve-month period. This lower recent annual mileage indicates the higher overall average was likely built up during the vehicle's earlier years of ownership, possibly through regular long-distance commuting, before the driving pattern shifted to lighter, more localized use. Despite the clean MOT record, the higher-than-average mileage for its age warrants a focused physical inspection of key mechanical components. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as prolonged high-mileage use can accelerate wear in these areas, even if they currently pass a visual MOT check. The brake discs and pads require scrutiny for lipping or uneven wear, and the calipers should be checked for any signs of binding, a common issue that can develop over varied driving cycles. Inspecting the exhaust system for corrosion and verifying the structural integrity of the underbody will confirm whether the previous high-mileage use has taken a toll on the vehicle's long-term durability.
