2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · LT18 UAE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward mechanical wear-related issues. The most recent test in February 2026 at 104,438 miles identified a minor defect regarding the nearside front service brake. While this did not cause a failure, it indicates a developing issue with the caliper or slider pins that was not present during the clean test in March 2025. The Tucson reflects a relatively high mileage profile for its eight years, averaging over 13,000 miles per annum. There is a significant acceleration in usage between February 2022 and March 2024, where the vehicle covered over 27,000 miles in just two years. Since the March 2025 test, the car has added another 13,700 miles. This consistent rate of use puts increased strain on suspension components and drivetrain parts compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer must pay closely to the nearside front braking system given the recent binding advisory. The history also reveals a pattern of neglected consumable maintenance. The 2023 and 2024 tests flagged rear tyres worn to the legal limit, suggesting the owner deferred tyre replacements until failure. Furthermore, the 2024 advisory for a holed C/V boot requires a physical inspection to ensure the boot was replaced, as grease leakage can lead to premature drives joint failure. Inspect the suspension bushings and shocks for wear, as high-mileage usage often accelerates degradation of these rubber components.
