2009 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Petrol · SP09 AWA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent test on 21 August 2025 at 117,186 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure on the same day. This pattern suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying immediate issues to meet the MOT deadline, ensuring the vehicle meets the minimum legal standards without showing a history of recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the Tucson covered 6,050 miles, followed by another 6,047 miles in the subsequent year leading to the 2025 test. This steady usage indicates a predictable driving pattern, which generally limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, the seventeen-year age of the vehicle means that rubber components and structural integrity remain a greater concern than mileage-related wear and tear. While the MOT record is clean of persistent advisories, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes. At 117,186 miles, vehicles of this era often suffer from corrosion on the mounting points and exhaust hangers that may not always trigger a failure until they become significant. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these components degrade over time regardless of low mileage. Given the lack of recorded brake issues in the history, check for binding calipers or uneven pad wear during a test drive to ensure the system remains as well-maintained as the records suggest.
