2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · PJ18 LLX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a maintenance trend that appears improving. The most recent MOT test on 21 July 2025 at 47,836 miles resulted in a clean pass following an initial failure on the same day for a nearside windscreen wiper. This indicates that the owner is proactive in rectifying immediate defects to ensure compliance, and the vehicle has passed without recorded advisories in the last two inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in usage between July 2023 at 24,738 miles and July 2024 at 43,028 miles, where the car covered nearly 18,000 miles in twelve months. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, long intervals between use can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the wiper arm and blade assemblies, as these were recurring failure points in both 2023 and 2025. The 2023 failure also highlighted an offside front tyre worn to the edge, which often indicates a previous alignment issue or incorrect pressure that requires monitoring. Given the low annual mileage, check the brake discs for surface pitting or glazing to ensure the vehicle hasn't suffered from inactivity, and inspect the suspension bushes for cracking which can occur with age regardless of the distance driven.
