2022 Hyundai Tucson Premium T-GDI 1.6L Petrol · SL22 RUR

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-04-08—just three months ago—shows a clean pass with no defects recorded, despite the unusual dual entry (one pass, one fail at identical mileage). This suggests the tester may have initially missed a minor issue before correcting it, but no recurring faults or advisories appear in the last cycle. The preceding test in April 2025 also passed without failings, indicating a stable maintenance pattern over the past year. However, the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear—especially in high-stress areas like suspension mounts or brake components—which should be verified independently. The recorded mileage of 29,219 miles over four years equates to approximately 7,305 miles annually, a rate consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage for this vehicle’s age. There are no gaps in MOT testing that would imply prolonged neglect, though the abrupt reset of mileage at the 2026 test (both entries at 29,219) is unusual and may warrant confirmation of odometer accuracy. The 10,433 miles covered between tests in April 2025 and April 2026 aligns with expected wear, but no advisories in either cycle suggest the owner avoided deferred maintenance. Given the clean MOT history, priority should be given to inspecting suspension components—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—for excessive play or corrosion, as these often fail without warning. The brakes, though not flagged, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle exhibits uneven stopping. Examine the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches and sills, as T-GDI engines are prone to underseal degradation over time. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or rusted joints, as catalytic converter failures are a known issue in this model. A thorough brake fluid flush and tyre tread depth check are also advisable, as neither was documented in the MOT records.
