2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · SH67 OGZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test on 8 December 2025 at 54,702 miles passed, it followed a failure just two days prior. That failure identified a binding nearside front service brake, both front tyres reaching legal limits, and an incorrectly adjusted parking brake lever. This sequence suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they threaten an MOT certificate, rather than maintaining components during scheduled service intervals. At 54,702 miles over nine years, the Tucson averages approximately 6,000 miles per annum, which aligns with low-mileage usage patterns. The mileage data shows consistent annual progression, with roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles covered each year between 2022 and 2025. This low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can also lead to secondary degradation of rubber components and brake hardware, as seen with the perishing rear tyres noted in earlier records. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. The recurring issue with the nearside front brake binding in December 2025 indicates a likely sticking piston or seized slider pin that requires thorough checking. Furthermore, the history of tyres being worn on the edges across 2023 and 2025 suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The buyer should also verify the brake disc surfaces for thinning or corrosion, as the pitted discs noted in 2022 may not have been replaced if they still met the minimum thickness requirements.
