2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · MA67 VPD

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT conducted on 27 August 2025 at 67,474 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This represents a positive trend in maintenance, as the last three annual inspections have been clear of advisories or failures. The progression from the 2023 failure to a clean test indicates that the owner has addressed previous mechanical shortcomings effectively, moving the vehicle from a state of neglect regarding consumables to a well-maintained condition. The recorded mileage of 67,474 miles over nine years averages approximately 7,497 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The accumulation of miles remains consistent across the provided history, showing no evidence of prolonged periods of inactivity that might lead to seized components or accelerated corrosion. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly, which generally benefits the longevity of the engine, transmission, and exhaust systems compared to cars that sit stationary for extended intervals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the 2022 and 2023 records highlighted thinning pads and surface degradation on the discs. While these items were rectified to secure the subsequent passes, the history confirms that the Tucson is a heavy user of front brake components. Verify the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs to ensure they have not reached their service limits again since the last test. Additionally, check the sidewalls of all four tyres for signs of perishing, as the 2022 test noted cracking on the rear tyres, which can be an early indicator of rubber degradation if the vehicle is stored outdoors.
