2016 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Diesel · RE16 ESN

The 2025‑10‑16 MOT at 105,641 miles recorded a pass, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy, yet the history shows a series of earlier failures that have been remedied in subsequent tests, indicating an improving maintenance trend. Mileage has climbed from 35,681 miles in October 2020 to 105,641 miles in October 2025, averaging roughly 10,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old Tucson; the early rise between 2020 and 2021 was sharper, but later intervals show steady accumulation without major irregularities. Recurring advisories include worn rear shock absorber bushes (5.3.2(c)) at 81,671 miles, persistent thin rear brake pads (1.1.13(a)(ii)) and pitted rear discs (1.1.14(a)(ii)), and tyres repeatedly noted as worn close to the legal limit (5.2.3(e)). The handbrake lever also displayed excessive travel in the 2021 test, and a near‑side rear child seat in the 2025 test limited full inspection of the adult belt. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear suspension bushes, brake pads and discs, tyre tread depth, handbrake operation, and ensure a complete belt check despite the child seat, as these components have shown repeated wear and may require renewal.
