2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · NV66 NCE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a transition toward developing suspension component wear. The most recent test in October 2025 at 67,435 miles flagged worn arm pins or bushes on both the offside front and offside rear suspension arms. While these defects did not result in a failure, they represent a progression of mechanical fatigue on the chassis that was not present during the clean 2023 inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The vehicle covered 11,824 miles between October 2024 and October 2025, and roughly 10,000 miles in the preceding year. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components. However, the low mileage relative to the nine-year age means rubber components and suspension bushings are beginning to perish from age regardless of the low distance driven. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of play in the arm bushes identified in the latest record. The recurrence of worn tyres across 2022 and 2024 suggests a history of alignment issues or uneven wear patterns, which should be verified by checking the current set foring shoulders. Given that the engine covers and undertrays were noted in 2021 and 2022, ensure these remain secure and intact to protect the lower engine components from road debris and corrosion.
