2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · RE68 CMK

The 2026-02-27 MOT at 69,384 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. All four annual tests since February 2023 have passed without any defect entries, indicating a stable maintenance record and no evidence of worsening mechanical conditions. Mileage has risen from 36,252 miles in February 2023 to 69,384 miles in February 2026, an average increase of roughly 11,000 miles per year, which exceeds the typical 8,700 miles per year for an eight‑year‑old Tucson. The 2024‑02‑26 record shows a failure at the same mileage as a preceding pass, but no defects were logged, suggesting a possible clerical inconsistency rather than a mechanical regression. A buyer should therefore concentrate on suspension components such as bushes and coil springs, which may have accumulated wear over the higher annual mileage, and inspect the rear brake calipers for binding or uneven pad wear, as these items are prone to deterioration with frequent use. Visual inspection of the chassis rails, sills and wheel arches for corrosion is advisable, given the vehicle’s age and mileage, while the exhaust system should be checked for cracks or excessive noise. Overall, the consistent annual testing and absence of recorded faults point to diligent previous ownership, yet the elevated mileage relative to age warrants a thorough in‑person assessment of wear‑prone parts before purchase.
