2017 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Diesel · RO17 AFF

The vehicle presents a stable and positive maintenance profile, with the most recent test on 8 January 2026 at 98,543 miles showing a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent three-year streak of passing MOT inspections without advisories or failures, suggesting that the vehicle has been well-maintained in recent years. The absence of any recorded issues since early 2022 indicates a period of consistent mechanical reliability and effective upkeep. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a 2017 vehicle, averaging approximately 10,949 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 76,032 miles and the January 2025 test at 87,983 miles, the vehicle covered 11,951 miles, which aligns with the overall annual trend. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty use. The only significant mechanical failure occurred in September 2021 at 61,458 miles, where the tester flagged a defective electronic parking brake control and insufficient parking brake efficiency. This issue was resolved, as evidenced by the clean pass in February 2021 and subsequent years. While the recent history is clean, a buyer should still verify the smooth operation of the electronic parking brake during a physical inspection to ensure the previous fault remains fully rectified. Given the high mileage approaching 100,000 miles, a physical inspection should focus on wear-and-tear components that often require attention at this stage. I recommend checking the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as well as inspecting for any signs of underside corrosion. Although no advisories have been noted recently, verifying the integrity of the drivetrain and checking for any minor fluid leaks remains a prudent step for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
