2020 Hyundai Tucson Prem SE 48V Mhev Crdi A 2.0L Electric diesel · SL70 TWJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 5 March 2026 at 34,149 miles resulted in an initial failure due to all four tyres being below the legal limit or worn unevenly. While the vehicle passed immediately after these rectifications, the failure suggests the previous owner neglected basic consumable maintenance until it reached a point of failure. At 34,149 miles over six years, the Tucson has covered significantly less mileage than the average, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between October 2023 (16,707 miles) and September 2024 (22,116 miles), where the vehicle covered over 5,400 miles in eleven months. This low-use profile can sometimes lead to flat-spotting or degradation of rubber components, which aligns with the wear-and-related issues noted in later tests. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension geometry, as the March 2025 test at 22,428 miles flagged worn rear bushes on both front lower suspension arms. Although these did not result in a failure at that time, they represent a known wear point that can affect handling and tyre life. The record of thin brake pads in October 2023 further indicates that components are only replaced when they fail, necessitating a thorough inspection of the current disc condition and pad thickness to ensure they are not nearing a similar state of exhaustion. The recent failure on all four tyres highlights a potential issue with vehicle alignment or suspension component fatigue. Given the uneven wear reported in the 2026 test, a professional wheel alignment is essential to ensure the new tyres are not prematurely scrub. The structural integrity of the vehicle appears sound based on the records, but the mechanical history suggests a vehicle that has been maintained with the minimum required attention to remain on the road.
