2020 Hyundai Tucson N LNE 48V Mhev Crdi 2WD 1.6L Electric diesel · JO57 CLE

The most recent MOT record, dated 2026-03-24 , shows the vehicle passed with no defects, though it had failed just the day prior due to severe suspension wear—specifically, the offside rear suspension arm pin and a trailing arm front bush exceeding legal limits. This pattern of a near-failure followed by a clean pass suggests the vehicle was likely brought in for urgent repairs after the initial test, with the suspension issues addressed in time for the subsequent inspection. The August 2025 tests reveal a persistent trend of neglect in tyre maintenance, with repeated failures on near- and offside front tyres worn to the legal limit and rear tyres exhibiting cracking or perishing. While the August 2024 test was clean, the intervening failures indicate a lack of proactive upkeep, particularly in suspension components and tyres. The recorded mileage of 25,917 miles over six years—approximately 4,320 miles annually —is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it may have spent extended periods stationary or was used lightly. The gap between the August 2024 pass (22,912 miles) and the August 2025 failures (24,975 miles) represents roughly 2,000 miles in 12 months , a pace that, while slow, still allows for significant wear on suspension bushes, tyres, and brake components. The lack of intermediate MOTs or service records further raises questions about whether basic maintenance—such as bush replacements or tyre rotations—was performed between tests. A buyer should prioritise an immediate inspection of the rear suspension arm pins and front trailing arm bushes , particularly the offside components, as the 2026 failure indicates critical wear. The recurring tyre issues—including edge wear and perishing—suggest the vehicle may have been driven on underinflated tyres or without proper alignment, accelerating tread degradation. The front windscreen wiper failure in August 2025 also warrants verification, as worn wipers compromise visibility in adverse conditions. Finally, the absence of structural corrosion advisories in recent tests is reassuring, but a thorough check of wheel arches, subframe areas, and sills is advisable given the vehicle’s age and mileage.
