2022 Hyundai Tucson SE Connect T-GDI 1.6L Petrol · WM22 AAU

The most recent MOT conducted on 20 July 2026 resulted in a pass, though the record indicates a transition from tyre-related advisories in 2025 to brake-related advisories in 2026. While the vehicle is passing its inspections, the maintenance trend suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to consumable replacement. The presence of advisories in consecutive years indicates that wear-and-tear components are approaching the end of their functional life, which is common for a vehicle of this age but requires immediate budgetary consideration for the prospective buyer. With 30,893 miles recorded over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,700 miles per year. This represents moderate, typical usage that avoids the mechanical pitfalls of both very low-mileage vehicles, which can suffer from fluid degradation and battery discharge, and high-mileage vehicles that face accelerated drivetrain and suspension wear. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, suggesting the mechanical components should be in a healthy state, provided regular servicing has been maintained. The advisories regarding front brake pads being thin and previous tyre edge wear are the primary areas of concern. The current advisory for thin front brake pads means replacement is imminent; during your test drive, you should listen for any squealing or grinding noises and check for brake shudder or pulsation through the pedal, which may indicate glazed pads or unevenly worn discs. Furthermore, the 2025 advisory regarding tyres being worn on the edges suggests a potential issue with wheel alignment or suspension bushes. Inspect the current tyres for any irregular wear patterns and listen for any rhythmic humming or vibration from the front end at higher speeds. Beyond the recorded advisories, you should verify the service history to ensure that oil and fluid changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's intervals, as calendar-based servicing is vital even with moderate mileage. Given the vehicle's age, check the 12V battery health and inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking. Finally, ensure the service book is stamped and that any recent work related to the brake or tyre advisories has been documented to confirm that these impending maintenance items have been addressed.
