2007 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Diesel · LS07 FMP

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 7 May 2025 at 150,837 miles. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable. There are no recorded defects or advisories across the last three years of testing, which is uncommon for a vehicle of this age. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 7,939 miles per year. Between the February 2023 test at 144,942 miles and the May 2025 test at 150,837 miles, the vehicle covered 5,895 miles. This suggests a period of light usage or a transition in ownership. The data shows no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or suspicious gaps that would indicate long-term standing. The absence of advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear is a positive indicator, though it is atypical for a 19-year-old chassis. A buyer should physically inspect the underbody and sills for structural rust, as MOT records sometimes overlook surface corrosion that does not yet compromise safety. Check the condition of the brake discs and tyres to ensure they have not perished due to the low annual mileage seen in the last two years. Verify the service history to confirm that oil changes and timing belt intervals were maintained. While the MOT history is clean, these records only capture safety-critical failures and do not reflect the general mechanical health of the engine or drivetrain. Focus on checking for oil leaks and the smooth operation of the suspension components during a test drive.
