2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · GJ18 LRY

The overall roadworthiness status for this 2018 Hyundai Tucson is currently failing, as the most recent MOT record from April 2026 indicates a failure. The vehicle has experienced a consistent pattern of deterioration, with the 2026-04-16 test passing at 64,961 miles, but subsequent tests from April 2025 and March 2024 failing at significantly lower mileages. This trajectory suggests that maintenance was not being kept up to date, leading to progressive wear on critical components. The mileage accumulation is uneven, with a notable gap between the 2026 and 2025 tests. While the 2026 test was completed at 64,961 miles, the 2025 test at 59,890 miles and the 2024 test at 57,448 miles show a rapid decline in mileage per year. This rapid loss of mileage over two years indicates that the vehicle was likely driven for less than 8,000 miles in the second half of 2025, or the owner simply did not record the mileage accurately, rather than due to accelerated wear. The 2023 test failure at 56,174 miles confirms that the vehicle has not been maintained for several years, leading to accelerated degradation of brake pads and discs. In conclusion, the buyer must inspect the vehicle immediately to identify specific faults such as binding rear brakes and worn brake discs, as these recurring issues indicate a structural risk. Given the history of failed tests and the rapid mileage loss, the vehicle is not roadworthy at this stage and requires urgent professional assessment before any further driving is permitted.
