2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · HX66 XOY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward addressing wear-related component failures. The most recent test in April 2026 at 85,695 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a perished nearside rear tyre. This represents an improvement compared to the April 2025 test which flagged multiple mechanical issues across the braking and suspension systems. The history suggests the previous owner has been reactive to faults rather than proactive with preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage between tests, moving from 77,008 miles in April 2025 to 85,695 miles in April 2026. The gap between the October 2023 and April 2024 tests shows relatively low usage, but the overall low mileage for the age suggests the car has not undergone heavy strain, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system based on recurring faults. The 2025 test identified front suspension arm ball joint dust covers as severely deteriorated on both sides, a condition that should be checked for current grease leaks or joint play. Additionally, the pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs noted in 2025 indicate the hardware is nearing the end of its effective life. While these passed the latest test, the repeated mention of tyre cracking and the 2023 failure for an exhaust flexi leak suggest that rubber and metal components are susceptible to age-related degradation.
