2021 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · JL17 GML

The most recent MOT on 14 August 2025 was a pass, but the inspector flagged the front brake pads as wearing thin. That is the only defect recorded at the latest test. Earlier in the record the only notable problem was a failed MOT on 7 May 2024 for ineffective windscreen wipers and insufficient washer fluid. Those issues have not re‑appeared, suggesting they were remedied after the failure. Overall the MOT history is clean apart from isolated wear items. The pattern shows normal wear on the braking system rather than a growing safety fault, so the vehicle’s condition trend appears stable but the brakes will need attention soon. At 25,045 miles the Tucson is about 5,000 miles per year, which is low for a five‑year‑old car. This could indicate light, gentle usage, but it may also mean the vehicle has spent long periods idle, which can affect seals, battery health and rust protection. The mileage alone does not prove heavy wear, but it does suggest that consumables may still have life left. Before buying, inspect the front brake pads and discs for thickness and any scoring, verify that the pads are replaced if they are close to the minimum.
