2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · SUE 603W

The vehicle maintains an excellent roadworthiness record, demonstrating a stable and highly positive maintenance trend. The most recent MOT conducted on 12 September 2025 at 80,206 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This consistent performance across the last five examinations suggests that the previous owner prioritised preventative maintenance and addressed mechanical requirements before they escalated into test failures. The recorded mileage of 80,206 miles over a ten-year period averages approximately 8,000 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The interval between the January 2022 test at 54,526 miles and the September 2022 test at 58,782 miles indicates a period of steady, consistent operation. There are no significant gaps in the history or evidence of erratic mileage accumulation, which implies the vehicle has been subjected to regular, predictable use rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty service. Because the official records show no recurring faults, advisories, or failures, the primary focus during a physical inspection should be on standard consumable components that may have reached the end of their service life since the last test. You should verify the current condition of the brake discs and pads, as these are high-wear items that do not always trigger an advisory until they are near the legal limit. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of perishing or corrosion that may have developed in the nine months since the last inspection. Check the tyre sidewalls for cracking and ensure the tread depth remains well above the legal minimum across the entire width of the tyre. While the MOT history suggests a well-cared-for vehicle, confirm that the engine bay is free from fluid leaks and that the underside remains clear of significant structural corrosion. The absence of historical warnings provides a strong baseline, but a thorough visual assessment of these mechanical wear points remains necessary to confirm the vehicle continues to meet its previous standard of reliability.
