2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · WF67 AOT

This Hyundai Tucson has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across four consecutive annual tests, most recently passing on 4 July 2025 at 37,352 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced any major mechanical or structural issues during the tester’s evaluations. While the clean record is reassuring, the lack of recorded defects does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly for wear items not routinely checked under MOT standards. The recorded mileage of 37,352 miles over nine years—approximately 4,150 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The consistent annual increments (31,616 to 34,301 between July 2023 and June 2024, and 34,301 to 37,352 between June 2024 and July 2025) suggest the car has spent extended periods either stored or driven infrequently. This low mileage could imply deferred maintenance on consumables like brake pads, suspension bushes, or fluid changes, as such components degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Given the lack of MOT advisories, the most critical areas for a prospective buyer to investigate would be the suspension components—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—for signs of dry rot or excessive wear. The brakes, though not flagged, should be inspected for uneven pad thickness or glazing, as low mileage does not guarantee they have been replaced within the manufacturer’s recommended intervals. Additionally, the underbody should be examined for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and sills, where standing water or road salt could have accelerated deterioration over the vehicle’s lifespan. A check of the exhaust system for leaks or rust penetration is also advisable, as emissions-related failures are not always captured in MOT records.
