2016 Hyundai Tucson 2.0L Diesel · SW16 OAM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT test on 14 January 2026 at 99,940 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met the minimum legal standards following immediate repairs. While the record shows failures on the days preceding the passes in both 2025 and 2026, these suggest minor issues that were rectified quickly rather than a pattern of escalating mechanical neglect. The mileage profile is consistent with typical UK usage for a decade-old SUV, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. A significant gap of 28,637 miles was covered between the June 2024 test (66,003 miles) and the January 2025 test (71,344 miles), followed by a further increase of 28,596 miles in the subsequent twelve months. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is regularly used for long-distance commuting, which places standard but predictable wear on high-mile components such as suspension, suspension bushings, and drivetrain assemblies. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension assembly and braking system, as the vehicle approaches the six-figure mileage mark where rubber components and hydraulics often perish. Given the recent failures prior to passing, a close check for leaking shock absorbers, worn coil springs, or binding brake calipers is advisable. Although the MOT record shows no structural advisories, the underside should be inspected for surface corrosion to ensure that no significant rust has developed on the chassis rails or mounting points during its years of active use.
