2016 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Diesel · KX16 YRN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as evidenced by a clean MOT pass on 05 May 2026 at 140,062 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, as the vehicle has transitioned from recorded mechanical defects in previous years to zero defects in the most recent two annual tests. This suggests that the current owner is proactively addressing the wear and tear issues that were previously flagged by the DVSA. At 140,062 miles over ten years, this Tucson has a high mileage profile averaging approximately 14,000 miles per annum. The record shows consistent usage, with roughly 3,376 miles covered between the May 2025 and 2026 tests, and another 5,741 miles between April 2024 and 2025. This steady accumulation places significant stress on the drivetrain components and suspension assemblies compared to lower-mileage examples of the same age. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and braking system due to their history of wear. The April 2022 test at 118,895 miles identified a worn bush on the nearside rear lower shock absorber, while the April 2024 test at 130,945 miles highlighted thin rear brake pads and pitted discs. While these appear to have been rectified, the high mileage necessitates a check that the rubber bushings are not perishing and that the brake calipers are not showing signs of binding. Given the age, a thorough check of the underbody for structural corrosion is also essential to ensure the high-mileage use has not led to accelerated degradation.
