2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · SM18 LJL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in October 2025 at 33,548 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean records in previous years, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle effectively without allowing mechanical defects to accumulate. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per annum. Data shows a consistent but low-intensity usage pattern, moving from 18,849 miles in June 2021 to 33,548 miles by October 2025. This low rate of travel typically results in less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage counterparts. However, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to flat-spotting or degradation of rubber-based components like suspension bushes and brake seals. A buyer should pay specific attention to the offside front tyre, as the May 2022 test at 22,177 miles flagged it as worn close to the legal limit and unevenly worn. While this issue appears resolved in subsequent tests, a physical inspection should verify that there are no lingering alignment issues or worn components that caused the edge wear. Given the low mileage, it is also prudent to check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, which often occurs on vehicles that sit stationary for long periods without frequent use.
