2019 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · OR19 AMM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 59,329 miles passed, it failed just one month prior at 58,863 miles. This failure identified a defective electronic parking brake control unit and thin offside front brake pads. The fact that a critical electronic safety component remained undetected until a test failure suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues when forced by the MOT tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a significant jump of 10,324 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, followed by a more steady increase of 9,360 miles in the following year and 11,470 miles in the thirteen-month period leading up to May 2026. This low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, but the recurring nature of brake-related failures indicates that components are being pushed to their limits between service intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and the electronic parking brake mechanism. The record shows worn front pads and pitted discs in 2024, with thin pads appearing again in early 2026, suggesting a failure to replace components as a complete pair. The electronic parking brake control should be tested for intermittent engagement or engagement to ensure the repair following the April failure was permanent. Furthermore, the 2024 advisories regarding uneven tyre wear on the front axle indicate potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature replacement of new tyres.
