2020 Hyundai Tucson SE NAV48V Mhev Crdi 2WD 1.6L Electric diesel · OV70 OUJ

A consistent record of MOT passes across three consecutive tests confirms that this 2020 Hyundai Tucson has maintained roadworthy status, with the most recent examination on 21 October 2025 recording no defects. The absence of any failure entries, dangerous defect advisories, or component-level wear notes across the entire recorded history suggests the vehicle has not presented any structural or safety-critical concerns at the point of test. The only flagged items were two front tyre advisories noted at the 2024 test, and these have not reappeared in subsequent records, indicating either timely replacement or rotation between examinations. Overall, the DVSA history reflects a stable and untroubled testing profile for this CRDi mild-hybrid variant. With 66,457 miles accumulated over approximately six years, the Tucson has covered around 11,000 miles annually, a rate that sits comfortably in the typical range for its age and aligns with a mixture of urban and longer-distance use. There are no gaps in the testing record that would suggest extended periods off the road, nor are there any mileage inconsistencies that would imply clock irregularities. For a diesel-powered MHEV of this generation, this kind of steady accumulation is generally favourable in mechanical terms, as diesel engines and their associated emissions components tend to suffer when used predominantly for very short journeys. The mileage progression between tests is smooth and proportionate, which gives confidence in the continuity of use. For a prospective buyer, the front tyre wear pattern noted in 2024 warrants attention on inspection. Edge wear on both front tyres simultaneously can point to misalignment of the front axle geometry, particularly camber or toe settings that have drifted from specification, or it may simply reflect a pattern of under-inflation over the tyres' service life. On a test drive, listen for any uneven road noise from the front axle and check whether the steering pulls to either side under braking or on a straight motorway stretch. It would also be prudent to inspect the sidewalls of the current front tyres for feathering or uneven shoulder wear, and to confirm whether a geometry check has been carried out since the advisory was issued. Given the mild-hybrid diesel powertrain and the moderate annual mileage, attention during a viewing should focus on the components most susceptible to wear on this type of vehicle. The 48V electrical system, including the mild-hybrid starter-generator and associated battery module, should be checked for warning messages on the dashboard and any history of charging system faults. The diesel particulate filter is worth monitoring for warning lights or reduced performance under sustained motorway driving, and a thorough road test should include a sustained period at higher engine loads to confirm clean exhaust behaviour. Finally, given the vehicle's age, a physical inspection of the underbody for any early signs of corrosion on suspension arms, brake pipe runs, and subframe mountings would be sensible, even though no such issues have yet been recorded at test.
