Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a mo
When viewing this red Tucson, your primary focus should be on the tyres. The most recent MOT in June 2026 noted both a damaged nearside rear tyre and a nail in the offside rear. Given that the 2025 MOT also flagged sidewall damage and cuts to the front tyres, you should inspect the tread depth and sidewall integrity of all four tyres to see if they require immediate replacement.
Check the windscreen carefully for any stone chips or cracks, as the 2024 MOT recorded damage to the central windscreen. Additionally, ensure the hybrid system transitions smoothly and that the full manufacturer warranty (common for Hyundais of this age) is transferable to you. Ask for evidence of any service intervals met, as MOT records alone do not confirm mechanical maintenance.
As a 1.6L hybrid (HEV), this Tucson is designed for improved fuel efficiency compared to pure petrol variants, making it suitable for mixed driving. Being a Euro 6 compliant vehicle, it is ULEZ/CAZ compliant.
Tax and insurance will depend on the specific insurance group assigned to the 'Ultimate' trim, which typically sits in a mid-range bracket for family SUVs. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and scheduled maintenance, are estimated to be moderate, though tyre replacement costs should be factored into your initial budget due to the recent MOT advisories.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyres. The MOT history for R44RAC shows a pattern of tyre-related issues, including sidewall cracking/perishing in 2025 and 2026, and a nail in the offside rear in the most recent test. Check for uneven wear which could indicate alignment issues.
Secondly, inspect the windscreen for any chips that could expand, following the 2024 advisory. Finally, check the windscreen washer system; while not failed on this specific car, it is noted as a top failure reason for this model aggregate, so ensure the jets are functioning correctly.
This 2022 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate T-GDI HEV is a relatively recent hybrid model with 27,919 miles recorded as of June 2026. The MOT history shows three consecutive passes, though recent inspections have highlighted recurring issues with tyre condition and a windscreen chip. With an average annual mileage for this model being around 8,291, this specific vehicle is performing slightly above that average.
The Hyundai Tucson model shows a high average MOT pass rate of 92.6% across the fleet analysed, though tyres and washer systems are common points of concern.
