2022 Hyundai Tucson SE Connect T-GDI 1.6L Petrol · LS22 OUC

The most recent MOT test completed on 24 April 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. When evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle demonstrates a highly stable and positive profile, as the previous test in March 2025 also returned a clean pass. The absence of any recorded failures or even minor advisories over the last two testing cycles indicates that the vehicle has likely been subject to regular upkeep and has not encountered significant issues regarding its structural integrity, lighting, or emissions during its recent period of operation. With a recorded mileage of 34,521 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 8,630 miles per annum. This usage pattern is considered typical for a modern crossover and suggests a balanced driving profile. This level of mileage is high enough to suggest the vehicle has been used regularly, which is beneficial for preventing component seizure or fluid degradation caused by long periods of standing, yet low enough that major mechanical components such as the turbocharger, transmission, and suspension assemblies should still be in a relatively healthy state with significant remaining service life. As the MOT history is entirely clean, your physical inspection should focus on age-related wear and time-sensitive maintenance items. You should closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur as the rubber ages regardless of tread depth. It is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for any signs of heavy corrosion or pitting and to ensure that the calipers are not binding, which can lead to uneven pad wear. During the test drive, pay close attention to the suspension for any clunks or knocks that might indicate worn bushes or failing dampers, and check for any brake shudder under deceleration which could signal warped discs. Finally, ensure that the service history is documented and aligns with the manufacturer's requirements, as many critical fluids like brake fluid and coolant are subject to calendar-based degradation rather than just mileage. Given the vehicle's age, a check of the 12V battery's health is also recommended to ensure it can still hold a sufficient charge. Verifying that all scheduled service stamps are present in the service book will provide the necessary assurance that the vehicle has been maintained according to the strict intervals required to preserve its long-term reliability and warranty status.
