Our Verdict
Recommended. This 2016 Hyundai Tucson pr
Focus on the service history to ensure the diesel engine has had regular oil changes, as this is critical for the longevity of the 1995cc unit. Check for evidence of any recent maintenance beyond the MOT, such as brake pad or tyre replacements, since these are common failure points for the Tucson model across the wider fleet.
Given the relatively low mileage for its age, verify that the vehicle has not been used exclusively for very short urban trips, which can lead to diesel particulate filter (DPF) issues. Negotiate based on the remaining tread depth of the tyres and the age of the battery.
The 2.0L diesel engine is designed for a balance of efficiency and torque, though annual road tax will depend on the specific CO2 emissions of this 2016 variant. Insurance groups for the Tucson are generally moderate, making it a predictable cost for family buyers.
Typical maintenance costs will involve standard servicing and the replacement of wear-and-tear items. Based on the engine size and vehicle age, you should budget for routine diesel-specific maintenance to keep the engine running efficiently.
While this specific vehicle has a clean record, be mindful of common Tucson failure points identified in aggregate data: check the tyre tread and condition, inspect the exhaust system for signs of corrosion, and ensure the brakes are operating evenly.
Specifically, check the condition of the windscreen wipers and blades, as this was the only recorded MOT failure for this vehicle in 2023. A general inspection of the suspension components is also advised for a vehicle of this age to ensure no new advisories are imminent.
This grey 2.0L diesel Tucson has recorded 64,756 miles, which is below the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history is notably consistent, with only one minor failure for a windscreen wiper in 2023. It represents a stable example of the model with no major recurring defects listed in the public records.
The Tucson demonstrates a solid reliability reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 85.5% across 119,527 analysed vehicles.
