2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · SH67 AXT

The 2017 Hyundai Tucson passed its most recent MOT on 2025-07-03 at 83,582 miles, with no defects recorded. However, a prior test on 2025-07-02 at the same mileage failed despite no defects being noted, suggesting potential administrative or procedural anomalies. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows consistent MOT passes from 2022 to 2024, with no recurring mechanical issues flagged. The absence of defects in the latest test indicates a stable roadworthiness status, though the failed test without recorded faults raises questions about the accuracy of the MOT records. The vehicle’s mileage of 83,582 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 9,287 miles, typical for its age. A notable increase in mileage occurred between 2024-06-28 (68,381 miles) and 2025-07-03 (83,582 miles), reflecting a 15,201-mile jump in 13 months—higher than the historical average. This rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though no such issues were recorded. The MOT history lacks gaps, suggesting regular maintenance, but the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential underlying concerns. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these are common wear points in vehicles of this age. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records does not preclude a visual check for corrosion on brake discs or binding calipers, which may not trigger immediate failure. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly in areas prone to rust, such as underbody panels or chassis seams. While the MOT data shows no critical issues, the vehicle’s history underscores the importance of a hands-on inspection to verify the absence of latent mechanical or corrosion-related faults.
