2022 Hyundai Tucson Premium T-GDI 1.6L Petrol · RO68 ULL

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson Premium T-GDI presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile based on the available DVSA MOT record. The most recent test, conducted on 17 July 2025 at 78,904 miles, passed with zero defects, no advisories, and no recorded faults whatsoever. This indicates that, at the time of its last inspection, the vehicle met all UK roadworthiness standards across brakes, suspension, steering, exhaust emissions, lighting, and structural integrity. The maintenance trend is therefore stable, with no evidence of recurring or unresolved mechanical issues within the documented record. Mileage accumulation tells a notable story. From its registration in 2022 to the July 2025 test, the vehicle has covered 78,904 miles, averaging roughly 19,726 miles per year. This is significantly above the typical UK annual average of 7,000 to 12,000 miles for a vehicle of this age. The single recorded MOT entry at 78,904 miles provides no earlier test data to trace wear patterns over time, so the full service and inspection history between registration and mid-2025 remains opaque. A buyer should request the service book and any independent garage invoices to verify whether this high mileage was accompanied by proportionate maintenance intervals. Despite the clean MOT result, the high annual mileage warrants a careful physical inspection. Components subject to accelerated wear at this mileage range include front and rear brake discs and pads, suspension bushes, coil springs, and drop links, along with tyre condition and wheel alignment. The turbocharged T-GDI engine should be assessed for oil consumption, turbocharger whine, and smooth boost delivery, particularly if motorway-dominated use has led to carbon buildup on intake valves. Exhaust system integrity, including the DPF function if fitted, should also be verified through a test drive under load. A prospective buyer should commission an independent pre-purchase inspection focusing on underbody corrosion, CV joint boots, gearbox smoothness, and any fluid leaks around the engine and transmission. The absence of MOT defects is encouraging but does not substitute for a hands-on assessment, especially given the limited test history and the vehicle's high-use profile.
