2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · JW12 WAT

This Hyundai Tucson has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across all five tests, including the most recent inspection on 2026-02-12 at 55,970 miles. The absence of advisories or failures over nearly nine years suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced any recurring mechanical issues that would warrant concern. However, the lack of defects does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The recorded mileage progression—ranging from 34,429 miles in February 2022 to 55,970 miles in February 2026—indicates an average annual distance of approximately 6,219 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusually large gaps between tests, nor is there evidence of rapid mileage accumulation that might suggest aggressive use or neglect. The consistent 12-month intervals between MOTs also imply the vehicle has been kept in active use rather than stored for extended periods. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely covered by the MOT test. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—as these are prone to fatigue over 55,000 miles. The brake system, including rear calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as the MOT does not test for subtle performance issues. Additionally, examine the underbody for corrosion, especially around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, as this is a common failure point for vehicles of this age. Finally, verify the condition of the tyres, including tread depth and lateral wear, as the absence of MOT failures does not guarantee they have been replaced at optimal intervals.
