Our Verdict
This 2016 Hyundai Tucson diesel is a sensible used buy with a clean MOT pass record across the last five tests. The minor advisories on the most recent test are worth addressing but do not indicate serious underlying problems.
When viewing this Tucson, ask for full service history to confirm the timing belt and diesel particulate filter (DPF) have been maintained, as these are key items on a 10-year-old 1995cc diesel. Use the December 2025 advisories — front service brake binding and near-side track rod end play — as negotiation points, as both should be rectified soon and may cost a few hundred pounds combined. Given the clean MOT record, a fair price should reflect average market values for a 2016 Tucson diesel with just over 100,000 miles rather than a discount for major faults.
As a 2.0-litre diesel, expect reasonable fuel economy of around 45-50 mpg in mixed driving, though real-world figures depend on use. Road tax for a 2016 diesel of this size typically falls in a higher CO2 band, and insurance group will be mid-range for a family SUV. Based on mileage and model type, estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance are around £1,200-£1,500.
The December 2025 MOT flagged front service brake binding but not excessively, so check that the calipers free off properly and discs are not warped or corroded. The same test noted near-side track rod end ball joint slight play; inspect the steering linkage for wear and budget to replace the joint if play has increased. Beyond these points, verify the DPF is clear and the engine starts cleanly, as the 1995cc diesel unit has covered over 100,000 miles with no recorded defects suggesting good care.
The vehicle has covered 101,057 miles as of its December 2025 MOT, with a consistent annual mileage of roughly 10,000-12,000 miles and no failed tests in the available history. The 2025 test noted slight brake binding and minor track rod play, but all prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 recorded no defects. As a white 2.0-litre diesel Tucson first registered in March 2016, it presents as a well-maintained family SUV with only age-related wear to consider.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Hyundai Tucson to benchmark this example against the wider model population.
