2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · RW02 AMY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. The most recent MOT test conducted on 6 August 2025 at 55,820 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems currently meet the minimum legal requirements. This follows a successful pass in August 2024, suggesting that the previous owner has addressed prior minor issues and maintained the vehicle to a good standard recently. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical light use for a modern SUV, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between April 2022 (23,796 miles) and April 2023 (36,468 miles), where the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles in a single year. However, usage has since moderated to a more consistent pace, with roughly 5,000 miles recorded between the most recent annual tests. This low mileage generally reduces the wear on heavy-duty components like the suspension bushings and drivetrain assembly compared to high-mileage counterparts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the visibility systems, as the history shows recurring failures in this area. The vehicle failed in April 2023 due to ineffective windscreen wipers and again in April 2024 because of misaligned washer jets. While these are minor consumable faults, the buyer should verify that the current wiper blades are not perished and that the washer pump system is not blocked or leaking. Because the record shows no historical structural corrosion or brake binding issues, the focus should remain on checking the condition of the rubber components and fluid levels to ensure the relatively low mileage has not led to avoidable degradation from sitting.
