2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · SM66 CLU

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor , as evidenced by a worsening maintenance trend that has not been stabilized since the September 2023 test. The most recent MOT on 2025-07-28 at 73,814 miles failed on the front brake disc, indicating a serious mechanical issue that has not been addressed in the last two years. This failure represents a significant deterioration in the vehicle's condition, moving the history from a stable baseline to one of active, unresolved structural risks. The mileage pattern is rapidly accelerating , which creates a distinct gap between the vehicle's age and its accumulated wear. The car is approximately 8,202 miles per year, placing it in the typical range for an 8-year-old vehicle, but this accumulation is not uniform. The gap between the 2025-07-28 test and the 2023-08-09 test is approximately 1,225 miles, suggesting that while the vehicle has been driven, the wear on specific components like the brake discs and suspension bushings is increasing at a faster rate than the vehicle's age allows. This accelerating trend raises the question of whether the owner has maintained the car at a safe pace or is neglecting critical wear points. Given the recurring faults and the accelerating mileage, the buyer must inspect the vehicle to identify any structural integrity issues or corrosion that may have masked the earlier failures. The history reveals severe deterioration in the anti-roll bar linkage and a severely worn nearside rear tyre that is close to the legal limit. A buyer should physically examine the brake discs, suspension bushings, and wheel alignment for signs of rust, binding, or other corrosion that could compromise the car's safety and longevity. If the history is interpreted as a pattern of frequent service failures and accelerating mileage, the vehicle should be considered a non-roadworthy asset pending further investigation into the structural integrity of the suspension and brakes.
