2008 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Petrol · LL08 DWV

This 2008 Hyundai Tucson passed its most recent MOT in October 2025, but the history reveals a concerning trend of structural decay. The primary risk is severe corrosion. The vehicle has a history of significant rust, including previous failures for excessive corrosion on the chassis and rear suspension mounting areas. Most recently, the rear subframe and front coil springs were flagged as corroded. This indicates a worsening trend where rust is progressively affecting the vehicle's structural integrity. The mileage is very low for an 18-year-old car, averaging roughly 5,522 miles per year. While this suggests lighter use, it often correlates with periods of standing or exposure to damp environments, which may have accelerated the corrosion seen in the MOT reports. Mechanical maintenance appears reactive rather than preventative. Recent failures for power steering leaks, worn suspension bushings, and bald tyres suggest the car has been neglected until the point of MOT failure. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the underside.
