2019 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · GY19 NVR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward minor consumable-related issues. The most recent test in February 2026 at 31,415 miles passed despite an advisory for an offside front tyre showing signs of cracking or damage. This follows the March 2025 test where the tester flagged thin offside front brake pads and a damaged offside rear tyre. While these issues did not cause failure, they indicate that the low-mileage components are now beginning to require preventative attention. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2024, the Tucson covered 8,668 miles, resulting in clean MOT records with no defects reported. The interval of 4,101 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests maintains this low-usage profile. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has seen light use, but it often leads to age-related degradation where rubber components perish due to time rather rather than distance driven. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres, as the record shows recurring perishing and damage across different axles and years. The offside front brake system also requires a close look to ensure the thin pads noted in 2025 have been replaced. Because the vehicle likely sits for long periods between tests, the inspector should also check for brake spots on the discs and any perished suspension bushes, which are common symptoms in low-mileage cars that remain stationary frequently.
