2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · WD66 AAU

The vehicle maintains a consistent record of roadworthiness, passing every annual inspection since 2022. The most recent test on 9 January 2026 at 60,771 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding a deteriorated rear registration plate. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the vehicle has successfully navigated its recent MOT cycle without any major mechanical failures or safety-critical defects. The current mileage of 60,771 miles over a ten-year period averages approximately 6,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical light-to-moderate usage for a family SUV. The accumulation of miles has been steady and predictable, with no significant gaps or periods of inactivity that might suggest long-term storage or potential issues with seized components or perished seals. The consistent annual testing schedule suggests the previous owner adhered to a regular maintenance routine. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre health, as these have been the primary areas of concern in previous years. The 2025 inspection noted thin brake pads on both the front and rear axles, so verify if these were replaced or if they are nearing the end of their service life. Similarly, the 2024 test flagged uneven tyre wear on the front axle, which can sometimes indicate tracking or alignment issues. Ensure the current tyres show even tread depth across the width of the contact patch to rule out lingering suspension geometry faults. The lack of structural or corrosion-related advisories is a positive indicator of the vehicle's overall chassis integrity.
