2015 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · SW65 VJE

The 2015 Hyundai Tucson has a mixed MOT history, with the most recent entry on 2025-12-10 showing a failed test at 31,527 miles. This failure included multiple brake-related issues: corrosion on both rear brake hoses, pitted rear brake discs, and excessive play in the nearside front track rod end. These defects indicate potential safety risks, particularly with braking performance and suspension stability. A separate passed MOT on the same date listed similar but less severe issues, suggesting possible inconsistencies in testing or documentation. Recurring mechanical patterns include brake system wear, such as corroded brake hoses, pitted discs, and binding brakes, which were first noted in 2022 and 2023. The 2025 failures introduced new concerns, like track rod end play, which was absent in earlier records. This suggests a worsening trend in critical components, though the low mileage (31,527 miles over 11 years) implies the vehicle may have experienced periods of inactivity or light use. However, corrosion and wear on brake components could also reflect exposure to harsh environments or inadequate maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 31,527 miles (2,866 per year) is significantly below average for its age, which could mean it has been driven infrequently or stored for extended periods. While lower mileage often correlates with less wear, the presence of corrosion and brake system defects raises questions about the vehicle’s exposure to moisture or lack of regular use.
