2019 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Diesel · FT19 LPL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful test in November 2025. The most recent inspection on 13 November 2025 at 62,570 miles showed an initial failure due to an inoperative LED headlamp cleaning device. This minor electrical fault was rectified immediately to secure a pass, indicating a reactive maintenance trend where the owner is responsive to specific defects identified by the tester. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 52,044 miles and the November 2024 test at 56,668 miles, the car covered 4,624 miles. This steady interval suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber components and mechanical seals to prevent premature drying or seizing. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension during a physical inspection. The November 2024 test at 56,668 miles identified both rear trailing arm bushes coming away from their race. While this was addressed to pass the subsequent test, the presence of suspension wear on a relatively low-mileage vehicle suggests the rubber components are reaching the end of their service life. Check for further tearing or play in the arm bushes to ensure the fault has not returned. The history also highlights a period of tyre neglect in late 2024, involving a nearside rear cut reaching the cords and a nail in the offside rear tyre. While these are consumable items, the buyer should verify the current set of tyres for similar sidewall damage or consistent wear. Given that no structural corrosion or brake issues were flagged in the records, the primary focus should remain on the integrity of the rear suspension assembly and the continued operation of the lighting system.
