2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · SE65 DJJ

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent maintenance record across its documented history. The most recent test on November 28 2025 at 53,154 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure just nine miles earlier on the same day. This suggests a minor adjustment or a specific sensor fault that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The car has passed all subsequent annual inspections without recorded defects or advisories over the last four years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 41,404 miles and December 2024 at 48,962 miles, the vehicle covered only 7,758 miles over two years. This indicates infrequent usage, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking system. However, such low mileage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or flat-spotting of fluid seals if the vehicle has not undergone regular thermal cycles. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on potential issues associated with low-mileage storage. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as rubber can perish over time regardless of distance travelled. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting which often occurs when a vehicle sits for long periods. Given the age of the Tucson, verifying the condition of the tyres and the state of the brake fluids is essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked age-related material degradation.
