2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · FP67 BWU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in June 2026 at 77,613 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of mechanical neglect in 2024 and 2025. While the vehicle previously struggled with brake-related issues and electronic warning lights, the clean sheet from the latest June test suggests that these specific mechanical faults have been addressed and the vehicle is currently in a stable state. At 77,613 miles over nine years, the Tucson averages approximately 8,600 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK domestic car usage. The record shows a steady usage pattern, with roughly 10,000 miles driven between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 10,300 miles covered by June 2026. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which generally reduces the risk of dry-related degradation of rubber components or fluid contamination. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the history indicates recurring issues. The April 2024 test flagged thin pads and discs on all axles, while the April 2026 test noted pitted and scored front brake discs. Although the June 2026 test passed without defects, the frequent mention of disc wear warrants a check for current thickness and any signs of caliper binding. The 2025 failure regarding the ABS and electronic stability control lamps also requires verification that the underlying sensors or modules have been properly repaired rather than simply reset to clear an intermittent electrical fault. Attention should also be paid to the tyres and minor hardware. The 2024 advisory noted all four tyres were perishing and worn to the limit, indicating a previous lack of proactive consumable replacement. Additionally, the noted April 2026 failure for a stiff secondary bonnet latch should be verified to ensure the mechanism is fully functional and not corroded. Beyond these wear-related items, the record shows no evidence of structural corrosion or significant suspension failures.
