2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · PY16 TFO

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 13 July 2026 at 67,268 miles, recording only an offside front wiper blade defect under item 3.4(b)(i). The maintenance trend is stable: suspension wear has been flagged repeatedly since 2021, but no new mechanical failures have appeared, indicating the owner has addressed issues as they arose without introducing fresh faults. The recent test being just 15 days old confirms current roadworthiness, though the wiper blade remains a minor consumable that should be replaced promptly. Mileage accumulation shows roughly 6,700 miles per year over the ten‑year lifespan, a typical figure for a 2016 model. The MOT record is dense from 2021 onward, with annual tests up to the present, and a gap only before 2020‑10‑23. The steady mileage rise suggests regular use rather than prolonged storage, and the recent proximity of the latest test demonstrates recent compliance with DVSA standards. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension assembly closely: both rear suspension arm pins and trailing‑arm bushes have been noted as worn (2022‑2024) without excessive movement, but wear can progress to looseness or noise. Check for corrosion, cracked bushings, and proper torque on mounting bolts. Tyre condition also warrants attention; the offside front tyre was at 2 mm tread and rear tyres at 3 mm in July 2025, indicating uneven wear that may reflect alignment or suspension geometry issues. Examine tread depth, edge wear, and pressure, and verify that the wiper blade replacement has been carried out. These components form the primary areas to assess before purchase.
