2018 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Diesel · GU68 RYB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. While the test in May 2026 at 112,295 miles passed, the tester flagged immediate advisories for worn front tyres and a weak offside washer jet. This follows a pattern where components are only addressed once they reach a point of legal failure, as evidenced by the significant failure in 2024. The mileage profile is high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging over 14,000 miles per annum. There is a notable surge in usage between May 2025 and May 2026, where the vehicle covered 22,649 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy motorway use or long-distance commuting, which places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and wheel geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with uneven tyre wear across multiple axles. The 2024 failure at 66,343 miles revealed critical brake pad thickness issues and exposed exposed cords on the offside front tyre, suggesting that previous owners neglected basic service intervals. You should verify the current state of the brake discs for thinning or scoring and ensure that the suspension bushes are not perished, given the high mileage and the history of uneven tyre degradation.
