2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · OE16 PXF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend regarding mechanical defects. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 83,403 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the issues identified in previous years were addressed. The transition from a failure in late 2024 to a clean pass in 2025 suggests the current owner is responsive to safety-critical repairs flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,340 miles per year. Between the November 2022 test at 61,116 miles and the November 2025 test at 83,403 miles, the car covered 22,287 miles, showing a steady usage profile. This consistent interval reduces the likelihood of long periods of standing, which often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry despite low odometer readings. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the rear braking system and tyre condition. The records from November 2023 and November 2024 repeatedly flagged perishing and damage on both the nearside and offside rear tyres, alongside a failure for thin rear brake pads in 2024. While these appear to have been rectified, the recurring nature of the tyre advisories suggests the vehicle may be exposed to environmental weathering or sat long enough to cause dry cracking. The handbrake reserve travel noted in 2023 warrants a physical check to ensure the mechanism remains properly adjusted and free from internal corrosion on the adjustment cables.
