2019 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · SAX 58

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward neglected consumable components. The most recent test in late December 2025 at 52,721 miles flagged thin brake pads across all four wheels and perishing or cracking on three tyres. This represents a worsening condition compared to the January 2025 test at 47,411 miles where only the front pads and two rear tyres were noted as needing attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of over 5,000 miles between January 2023 and December 2023, during which the vehicle maintained a clean record. However, the subsequent accumulation of 10,655 miles between December 2023 and December 2025 shows an increase in usage that likely correlates with the rapid wear observed on the braking system and the degradation of the tyre rubber mentioned in the latest de-min advisories. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the recurring reports of thin pads across multiple axles suggest the owner is delaying routine service items. The repeated mentions of perishing and cracking tyres indicate the vehicle may sit for long periods or be exposed to conditions that degrade the rubber compound regardless of tread depth. Additionally, the feathering on rear tyres noted in 2023 suggests a potential wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent further premature wear on new tyres.
