2022 Hyundai Tucson Premium T-GDI HEV Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric · SC71 HBA

The vehicle presents a generally stable mechanical trend, though the most recent MOT on 2025-12-04 reveals emerging minor wear typical of its age. During the initial attempt on that date at 41,146 miles, the tester flagged a failed windscreen washer fluid supply and a worn nearside front tyre. The subsequent pass on the same day indicates the immediate defects were rectified, but the recurring advisory for the nearside front tyre wearing on the edge suggests potential alignment or suspension bush wear that demands physical inspection. This pattern points to basic consumable upkeep being addressed, yet underlying mechanical causes for uneven tread wear remain unresolved. Accumulating 41,146 miles over four years results in a typical annual mileage of roughly 10,286 miles, reflecting regular use rather than prolonged standing or excessive motorway grinding. The mileage progression shows a notable acceleration between tests, covering 12,055 miles in the twelve months between the December 2024 test at 29,091 miles and the December 2025 test at 41,146 miles. This recent uptick in usage places increased stress on consumables like tyres and brake components, which aligns with the edge wear observed on the nearside front tyre during the latest assessment. A prospective buyer must inspect the nearside front suspension and wheel alignment thoroughly. Edge wear on the front tyre often indicates worn tracking, a binding caliper, or deteriorated suspension bushes, none of which were explicitly repaired on the record. The hybrid drivetrain and regenerative braking systems require a diagnostic scan to ensure the high-voltage battery and brake calipers operate seamlessly, as hybrid vehicles often suffer from sticking calipers due to reduced friction use. Examine the inner edges of all tyres and the condition of the exhaust system for early corrosion, ensuring the structural integrity of the underbody remains sound.
