2022 Hyundai Tucson Premium T-GDI HEV Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · MM22 MVT

The latest MOT test on 1 July 2026 was a clean pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met all legal roadworthiness standards at that time. The preceding test in May 2025 also passed but included advisories for both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit on the edges. This suggests a stable maintenance trend, as the advisories were addressed before the subsequent test, with no escalation into failures or additional defects. With 62,114 miles recorded over approximately four years, the annual mileage averages around 15,528 miles, which is on the higher side for a vehicle of this age. Elevated mileage typically accelerates wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads, discs, and suspension components, as well as placing greater demand on the hybrid drivetrain and fluid systems. The consistent usage pattern implies the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than left standing, which may reduce risks associated with corrosion or fluid degradation from inactivity. The front tyre advisories from 2025 highlight a history of uneven or aggressive wear, likely due to alignment issues, underinflation, or suspension wear. On a test drive, listen for clunks or knocks from the front suspension over rough surfaces, which could indicate worn bushes, ball joints, or shock absorbers. Inspect the front tyres for feathering or scalloping on the edges, and check the wheel alignment by observing if the vehicle pulls to one side. Given the high mileage, also verify the condition of the brake discs and pads for excessive wear or scoring, and ensure the hybrid battery and cooling system have been serviced in line with the manufacturer’s schedule. Finally, assess the overall condition of age-sensitive components. Check the tyre sidewalls for cracking or perishing, as even high-mileage vehicles can suffer from rubber degradation over time. Evaluate the 12V battery health, as hybrid systems rely heavily on it, and look for signs of corrosion on the underside, particularly around the subframe and exhaust. Confirm that all fluids, including hybrid coolant and transmission oil, have been changed at the recommended intervals, as high mileage can accelerate their degradation. A full service history will provide reassurance that these critical areas have been maintained.
