2020 Hyundai Tucson N LNE 48V Mhev Crdi 2WD 1.6L Electric diesel · FP70 CVC

The vehicle shows a recent decline in maintenance standards, moving from a clean pass in 2023 to a failure in late 2025. While the November 2025 test at 34,656 miles resulted in a pass, the failure just one day prior at 34,639 miles indicates that the vehicle was operated with tyres below the legal tread depth limit. The tester flagged the nearside front tyre as being at the 1.6mm limit and the offside front tyre as worn on the edge. This suggests a lapse in basic consumable upkeep immediately preceding the most recent inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2020 model, averaging approximately 5,776 miles per year. The record shows steady, incremental growth from 18,703 miles in October 2023 to 26,601 miles in October 2024, and finally reaching 34,656 miles by November 2025. This consistent, low-intensity usage pattern typically reduces wear on major drivetrain components and suspension, though it can sometimes lead to secondary issues like brake oxidation if the vehicle sits idle for extended periods. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and tyre management. The October 2024 test at 26,601 miles identified front brake discs that were pitted or scored and pads wearing thin at 3-4mm. Although these were passed, the subsequent tyre failures in 2025 suggest that maintenance on consumables is not being performed proactively. I recommend a physical inspection of the front brake discs for deep scoring and a check of the remaining tyre tread to ensure they are not nearing the legal limit again. The recurring mention of child seats preventing full inspection of the rear adult seat belts in every test since 2023 represents a limitation in the MOT data. Because the tester could not fully verify the integrity of the rear seat belt webbing or buckle mechanisms, a manual check of the rear passenger safety equipment is necessary to confirm it meets standard requirements.
