2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Diesel · KM68 CEU

The 2018 Hyundai Tucson presents a stable and largely reassuring roadworthiness profile through its MOT history, with the most recent test conducted on 18 February 2026 at 83,688 miles resulting in a clean pass. The sole advisory raised was a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, noted as just legal at the time of testing. This is a minor consumable wear item rather than a structural or mechanical defect, and the fact that no other faults were flagged suggests the vehicle remains in sound overall condition. The maintenance trend across the full record is stable, with no recurring or worsening defects appearing between 2022 and 2026. The mileage accumulation of approximately 10,461 miles per year over eight years sits squarely within typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The intervals between tests show consistent and steady progression, from 50,618 miles in March 2022 through to 83,688 miles in February 2026, with no unusual gaps or sudden spikes in recorded distance that would suggest long periods of inactivity or exceptionally hard use. The record is clean and well-documented, with five consecutive passes and no failures at any point. The only item warranting closer physical inspection is the nearside front tyre wear pattern noted in the February 2026 test. Edge wear on a front tyre can indicate misaligned tracking, worn suspension bushes, or deteriorated damping, so a buyer should have the front suspension and steering geometry checked to rule out underlying mechanical causes. Beyond that, the absence of any advisories relating to brake components, exhaust emissions, structural corrosion, or suspension faults across the entire record is a positive indicator of consistent upkeep. A prospective buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection of the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and subframes, and verify the condition of all four tyres including the spare. The brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness, and a road test should confirm smooth braking without pulling or binding. Given the clean MOT history and steady mileage pattern, this Tucson appears to have been maintained to a reasonable standard, but the front tyre wear advisory justifies a focused mechanical check before purchase.
