2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · PX67 SLU

The 2017 Hyundai Tucson presents a notably clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 24 September 2025 at 39,395 miles, passed with zero defects. This outcome caps a continuous five-year stretch of first-time passes, indicating a stable and well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical or structural faults flagged by any tester during this period. The mileage accumulation pattern warrants attention. Between the October 2021 test at 19,088 miles and the October 2022 test at 24,283 miles, the vehicle covered 5,195 miles in twelve months. The following year, up to September 2023 at 28,323 miles, it added 4,040 miles. From September 2023 to October 2024 at 33,077 miles, the increase was 4,754 miles. The final interval, from October 2024 to September 2025, shows just 6,318 miles added in nearly eleven months. This tapering usage in the most recent period suggests the vehicle may have been standing for extended stretches, a pattern that can introduce its own concerns despite the low overall mileage. A clean MOT record is reassuring, but it does not eliminate the need for a physical inspection. Low-mileage vehicles left standing can suffer from deteriorated rubber suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and corrosion on brake discs and exhaust components caused by lack of regular use. The tyres on this Tucson, at nearly nine years old, may show age-related cracking even if tread depth remains legal. Prospective buyers should inspect the underside for structural corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the subframe, and verify that all brake components move freely. A short test drive will confirm whether the power steering, gearbox, and clutch operate smoothly under load, conditions an MOT stationary check does not fully replicate.
