2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · WD66 ABV

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, passing its most recent MOT on 3 December 2025 at 60,934 miles. While the vehicle continues to pass, the record shows a recurring pattern of consumable wear rather than systemic mechanical failure. The December 2025 test flagged thinning front brake pads and a deteriorated rear registration plate, suggesting that while the vehicle is roadworthy, it is entering a phase where routine maintenance of wear items is required to prevent future failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a low-to-moderate usage pattern for a 2016 model. The vehicle has covered approximately 6,000 miles per year, moving from 25,885 miles in December 2019 to 60,934 miles in December 2025. This steady progression suggests regular short-to-medium distance use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks of seized components or perished seals often found in vehicles that sit idle for extended periods. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system during a physical inspection. The MOT history shows rear brake pads were flagged as thin in December 2023 and front pads were noted as wearing thin in December 2025. This indicates the brake components are reaching the end of their service life. The 2021 test also highlighted issues with tyre condition, specifically cracking and wear close to the legal limit across all four tyres, so the current tread depth and rubber integrity should be verified to ensure they are not nearing another replacement cycle. The December 2021 advisory regarding a restricted central rear seatbelt remains a point of interest. Although the vehicle has passed subsequent tests, the physical functionality of all seatbelt pretensioners and locking mechanisms should be tested to ensure they meet safety standards. Beyond these consumable items, the lack of structural corrosion or suspension defects in the recent records suggests the vehicle has been kept in a satisfactory mechanical state.
