2017 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Diesel · RE17 HTZ

The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-04-08 at 89,745 miles, with no defects recorded. This follows a failed test on 2026-04-05 at 89,742 miles, also with no defects noted. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed tests since 2023 without recurring mechanical failures. However, the recent failure at nearly identical mileage suggests a minor, possibly intermittent issue that resolved itself by the subsequent test. The mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for a 9-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,972 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or anomalies in the recorded mileage between tests, indicating consistent use without prolonged periods of inactivity. The steady progression from 60,368 miles in 2023 to 89,745 miles in 2026 reflects normal wear patterns for a mid-sized SUV of this age. No structural, suspension, or brake-related advisories have been flagged in the MOT history, suggesting that major mechanical components have remained within acceptable limits. However, the recent brake failure at 89,742 miles warrants attention, as binding calipers or corroded brake discs could indicate deferred maintenance. A buyer should inspect the brake system for uneven pad wear, rust on discs, and signs of seized calipers, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The exhaust emissions and suspension components have not raised concerns in prior tests, but the 2026 failure hints at a potential issue with the braking system that may recur. The buyer should check for play in the suspension bushes, signs of corrosion in the undercarriage, and the condition of coil springs. While the MOT record shows no persistent faults, the recent anomaly suggests verifying that all mechanical systems function smoothly under load, especially given the vehicle’s cumulative mileage.
