2022 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate T-GDI 1.6L Petrol · KY22 XMZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT on 18 March 2026 at 49,295 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates reactive rather than proactive care. The car failed that same test just nine miles prior due to a nearside front tyre with tread depth below the legal 1.6mm limit. While the defect was rectified immediately to secure a pass, it suggests the owner only addressed critical safety items once prompted by a testing failure. At 49,295 miles over four years, this Tucson has averaged approximately 12,300 miles per year. This sits above the UK annual average for passenger cars, suggesting consistent motorway use rather than long periods of standing stationary. Between the March 2025 test at 38,319 miles and the March 2026 test, the vehicle covered 10,976 miles. This steady accumulation of mileage reflects a vehicle subjected to regular mechanical stress, which accelerates wear on components like brake assemblies and suspension bushings. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of all four tyres, as the 2025 record flagged nails in both the offside and nearside rear tyres. Given the recent failure on the nearside front, it is vital to verify if a matching pair was replaced or if mismatched tyres remain. The high mileage also justifies a close check of the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear, as well as the shock absorbers for signs of weeping or perished boots. No structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures have appeared in the history, so the focus remains on these consumable items and associated wear-related components.
