2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · LC67 FKB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive upkeep regarding consumable items. The most recent test in September 2024 at 34,270 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for headlamp aim, worn front tyres, and disc corrosion. While the faults were rectified to pass, the recurring nature of the tyre issues across multiple years suggests the owner only replaces components when they reach legal limits rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between January 2019 at 3,694 miles and November 2020 at 17,322 miles, indicating the car sat stationary for long periods. This low-frequency use often leads to the premature degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes and seals, despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. The progression of roughly 7,000 miles over the last four confirms consistent low usage. A buyer should physically inspect the braking system, specifically checking for the corrosion on the rear disc faces noted in 2024, as low-use vehicles are prone to surface rust and pitting. The recurring edge wear on the front tyres in 2020, 2023, and 2024 indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension geometry that requires investigation. Additionally, given the long periods of inactivity, inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or rot and ensure the brake calipers are not seized despite the low mileage.
