Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
Given the low mileage of 44,110 miles for a 2016 vehicle, your primary focus should be on ensuring the service history matches this usage. Check that oil changes have been performed regularly, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from infrequent maintenance.
When negotiating, ask for documentation regarding the brake discs and tyres mentioned in the 2023 MOT, as well as the suspension arm bush noted in 2022. While these appear to have been rectified based on subsequent passes, verifying the work is completed is essential for peace of mind.
The 1.6L petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy for this petrol variant will be typical for a compact SUV of this era, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for this model are expected to be standard for a non-premium brand. With the low mileage, you are less likely to face major component failures soon, but you should budget for routine consumables like tyres and brake pads, which have appeared in the MOT history previously.
Based on the MOT history, pay close attention to the braking system. The 2023 test flagged both front and rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. Inspect the discs for any signs of surface corrosion or uneven wear.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and suspension components. The 2022 failure involved a rear suspension arm bush, and the 2023 advisory noted a perishing nearside rear tyre. Ensure the suspension feels tight and there are no irregular wear patterns on the tyres that might indicate alignment issues.
This 2016 Blue Hyundai Tucson has covered 44,110 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of approximately 8,043 miles per year. While the MOT history includes failures in 2022 and advisories in 2023 regarding brakes and tyres, the two most recent tests in 2024 and 2025 recorded no defects. This suggests the previous maintenance issues identified in earlier tests have been addressed.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 85.5% average MOT pass rate, with common failures often relating to tyres, exhausts, and brake imbalance.
