2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · HS16 LWY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in the February 2026 test at 90,524 miles. This recent result indicates that any previous defects identified in earlier years have been addressed and the car currently meets minimum regulatory standards. While the history shows failures in 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes without any recorded advisories suggest a proactive approach to rectifying mechanical or safety faults by the owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a decade-old SUV, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between the February 2024 and the February 2025 tests, the vehicle covered 5,919 miles, while a further 6,866 miles were recorded between February 2025 and February 2026. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods ofກັບ or extreme heavy loading, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber components, seals, and braking systems that suffer from dry-related seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in February 2024 and February 2025, although the provided data does not specify the exact nature of those faults. Given the age and mileage of the Tucson, a close look at the suspension control arm bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these are common points of wear on this model. The inspector should also check for signs of corrosion on the exhaust system and underbody mounting points to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the clean MOT passes.
