2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · ML18 ABN

The 2018 Hyundai Tucson presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 8 May 2025 at 66,551 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests show the same pattern of clean passes, indicating no escalating mechanical faults across the vehicle's eight-year service life. The single failure event on 16 November 2023 at 52,207 miles is anomalous, as the record shows no defects listed and a pass was issued the same day at 52,210 miles, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a genuine mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for the vehicle's age, with 66,551 miles recorded against roughly eight years of use, equating to about 8,319 miles per year. The earliest entry, 28 May 2021 at 34,810 miles, progresses to 41,078 miles by 8 June 2022, then 52,210 miles by November 2023, and finally 66,551 miles by May 2025. Gaps between tests are reasonable and show no rapid accumulation or prolonged standing. The sparse, clean record implies the previous keeper maintained basic statutory testing discipline, though the absence of advisories across all entries means wear items were either within tolerance or not scrutinised closely enough to flag. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the lack of any advisory history to confirm hidden degradation. The November 2023 same-day fail-and-pass with zero defects warrants a check of the DVSA test log to rule out a data anomaly versus a withdrawn failure. No recurring structural corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or binding caliper issues appear in the record, so serious mechanical risk from the MOT trail alone remains low.
