2015 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · MD65 GHH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a fluctuating trend rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 78,526 miles passed, it initially failed due to multiple tyre defects, including a structural bulge on the offside rear and a nail. This follows a much more significant failure in November 2024 where the vehicle failed critical safety and emissions systems, including ABS, electronic stability control, exhaust emissions, and parking brake efficiency. At 78,526 miles over eleven years, the Tucson has averaged approximately 7,139 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a family SUV of this age. The data shows consistent annual intervals, with 11,607 miles covered between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, yet the cluster of failures in late 2024 indicates that mechanical components were being neglected until they reached a point of total failure rather than being serviced during routine intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the 2024 parking brake efficiency issues were fully rectified and not merely masked by adjustment. The previous failure of the ABS and electronic stability control lamps warrants a diagnostic scan to confirm no persistent fault codes remain in the vehicle's control modules. Additionally, the oil leak noted in October 2023 at 61,748 miles should be inspected for current seepage to determine if the sump gasket or seal has worsened over the subsequent 16,000 miles.
