2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · RO18 ACU

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 9 March 2026 at 80,410 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of first-time passes without a single advisory or failure, indicating a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is steady and aligns with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the odometer climbed from 39,934 to 80,410 miles, averaging roughly 10,000 miles per year. The gap between the March 2025 test at 72,584 miles and the March 2026 test shows a slight increase in annual usage, but the pattern remains linear and predictable. The absence of any recorded defects regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions over five years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and mileage. There are no recurring faults to suggest systemic mechanical failure or neglected upkeep. The record implies the previous owner addressed wear items, such as tyres and wiper blades, before they reached a critical state that would trigger an MOT advisory. A physical inspection should focus on common age-related wear that MOT testers often overlook if it does not meet the legal failure threshold. Check the condition of the brake pads and the depth of the tyre treads to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. A brief check for surface corrosion on the underside and a review of the service history for oil change intervals will complete the due diligence, as the MOT record alone provides no data on internal engine health.
