2020 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · WJ20 HGD

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status following its most recent test on 12 March 2026 at 36,402 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of reactive upkeep rather than proactive servicing, particularly regarding the braking system. While the vehicle passed the latest inspection, the tester flagged thinning rear brake pads, which follows a failed test in March 2025 where the offside front pads were below the 1.5 mm legal limit. This pattern suggests the owner tends to address component wear only when it reaches a point of failure or inspection threshold. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical low-to-mid usage pattern for a six-year-old vehicle. The car covered 11,264 miles between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests, representing a steady annual average of roughly 11,000 miles. This is a notable increase from the 3,718 miles recorded between the January 2024 and March 2025 period. The total distance of 36,402 miles suggests the vehicle has not been subject to excessive heavy-duty use, though the recent uptick in annual mileage may accelerate the wear on consumables. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the braking system and related components. The recurring issues with brake pads and the pitting noted on the rear discs in March 2025 indicate that the braking hardware is nearing the end of its service life. The tester also noted worn tyres in February 2023, which, combined with the recent brake pad advisory, reinforces a history of running consumables close to their legal limits. Beyond the brakes, the March 2025 failure regarding the tyre pressure monitoring system requires verification to ensure the fault was rectified and is not a persistent electronic issue. While the windscreen wiper fault was resolved, a physical inspection of all wiper blades and the glass surface is advised. The lack of structural corrosion or suspension defects in the records is a positive indicator, but the mechanical history suggests that a thorough check of the brake discs, pads, and electronic sensor functionality is necessary before purchase.
