2020 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · SD70 AAX

The vehicle maintains a clean bill of health following its most recent MOT on 25 February 2026 at 71,441 miles. The history shows a stable trend of compliance, with no recorded defects or advisories across the last three years of testing. While the vehicle failed its initial attempts in both 2025 and 2026, these were administrative or immediate rectifications rather than indicative of chronic mechanical failure, as evidenced by the subsequent passes occurring within a day of each failure. The recorded mileage of 71,441 miles over six years aligns with standard usage patterns for a vehicle of this class, averaging approximately 11,900 miles annually. The progression from 46,627 miles in September 2023 to the current figure shows consistent, steady accumulation rather than periods of prolonged inactivity or excessive high-mileage fleet use. This suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly, which generally helps prevent the issues associated with long-term storage, such as seized brake calipers or degraded rubber components. Because the MOT record is entirely free of technical advisories, the primary focus during a physical inspection should shift to consumable items not fully captured by the test. You should verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these are subject to wear that may not trigger a failure until they reach critical limits. Check the tyre sidewalls for perishing and ensure the tread depth is uniform across all four corners. Given the mileage, confirm that the suspension bushes and joints remain free of play, as these components often begin to show signs of fatigue at this stage in a vehicle's service life.
