2022 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate T-GDI HEV Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric · OV22 DNO

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 16 March 2026. Although a failure was recorded on the same date, the absence of listed defects suggests this was likely a minor administrative issue or a rectification that was resolved immediately. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record across its recent testing cycles, indicating that it has been kept to a standard that consistently meets DVSA roadworthiness requirements. The recorded mileage of 84,301 miles is significantly higher than average for a four year old vehicle, representing an annual usage rate of approximately 21,075 miles. This level of accumulation suggests the car has been used extensively, likely for long distance commuting or motorway travel. While high mileage often implies the engine has operated at optimal temperatures, it accelerates the wear on consumables, suspension components, and the drivetrain. A prospective buyer should view this vehicle as one that has seen considerably more operational stress than a typical example of this age. Since the MOT history is devoid of advisories, the inspection should focus on wear and tear items associated with high mileage. During a physical assessment, examine the tyre tread depth and wear patterns across both axles to ensure there is no uneven wear, which would indicate worn suspension bushes or poor wheel alignment. Inspect the brake discs for significant lip wear or scoring and ensure the brake pedal feel is firm without any shudder during a test drive, as the high mileage may necessitate the replacement of pads and discs sooner than expected. Given the hybrid powertrain and high annual usage, it is critical to verify the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed at the correct intervals to protect the T-GDI engine. Check the condition of the 12V auxiliary battery and ensure that all calendar-based fluids, including brake fluid and coolant, have been refreshed according to the manufacturer's schedule to prevent internal degradation. Finally, inspect the underbody for any signs of road salt corrosion or damage to the exhaust system that may have occurred during its extensive time on the road.
