2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · VN66 XPL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 108,579 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a period of improvement following a significant failure in early 2024. While the car previously struggled with emissions-related issues and suspension wear, the clean sheet from the most recent test suggests that the previous owner addressed the flagged mechanical faults to bring the vehicle back to a standard operating condition. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of roughly 10,000 miles between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests, and another 9,400 miles between early 2024 and 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not been left stationary for extended periods, though the presence of a minor exhaust leak and a defective offside wiper blade in 2025 indicates that minor preventative maintenance was occasionally overlooked. A buyer should inspect the front suspension components, as the nearside lower anti-roll bar linkage was previously flagged as excessively worn. The 2022 advisory regarding low rear parking brake efficiency suggests the braking system may be prone to adjustment issues, which should be verified to ensure the mechanisms are not currently seizing. Given the 2024 failure due to high carbon monoxide levels, a physical check of the engine's performance and exhaust manifold is advisable to ensure the emissions issue was fully resolved and not merely a symptom of a deeper engine fault.
