2022 Hyundai Tucson SE Connect T-GDI 1.6L Petrol · KY22 XMR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred consumable replacement. In the most recent test in April 2026 at 58,857 miles, the Tucson passed despite multiple advisories regarding the braking system. While the components met the legal threshold, the presence of thin brake pads across three wheels and worn front discs suggests that the previous owner was waiting until components reached their limits rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,700 miles annually. Between the April 2025 test at 44,834 miles and the April 2026 test at 58,857 miles, the car covered 14,023 miles. This consistent annual accumulation is typical of regular motorway or commuter use, which accelerates the wear of suspension bushings and drivetrain components compared to lower-mileage city cars. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly, as the 2026 advisories indicate that the front discs and rear pads are due for immediate replacement. The offside front area specifically requires close attention for uneven wear on the rotor. Given the high mileage, the buyer should also inspect the shock absorbers and suspension mounting points for signs of leakage or rubber degradation that would not be captured in a standard MOT. The nearside rear tyre cut noted in 2025 should be re-evaluated to ensure the damage has not progressed toward the structural cords.
