2022 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate Tgdi Phev 4X4A 1.6L Hybrid electric · LL71 VRK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent MOT history indicates a lapse in pre-test diligence. The test on 9 January 2026 at 33,767 miles failed due to an inoperative engine management indication light and a damaged nearside rear outer tyre. While the vehicle passed the immediate retest the same day after addressing these issues, the initial MIL failure suggests a potential electrical or sensor fault that was not rectified prior to the inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,442 miles per year. Between the January 2025 test at 24,339 miles and the January 2026 test at 33,768 miles, the car covered 9,429 miles. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress, nor has it sat stationary for long periods which would typically lead to flat-spotting tyres or accelerated degradation of rubber components. A buyer must perform a diagnostic scan to identify the specific malfunction that triggered the January 2026 failure. An inoperative MIL can often point to faulty oxygen sensors, mass airflow meters, or battery issues within the hybrid system. The sidewall damage on the nearside rear tyre indicates either physical impact or age-related perishing, necessitating a thorough check of the remaining tyres for similar cracking or uneven wear patterns. Given no structural defects were noted in the 2025 test, the chassis integrity and mechanical components appear stable, provided the electronic fault remains resolved.
