2015 Ford Mondeo 2.0L Diesel · WS11 WJS

The 2018 Hyundai Tucson presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 22 May 2026 at 55,490 miles with only a minor advisory for slight perishing on all four tyres. This is a marked improvement over the preceding years, where the tester flagged headlamp aim issues and tyre deterioration. The most recent result suggests the previous owner addressed the earlier defects promptly, leaving the vehicle in sound mechanical order at the point of sale. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for an eight-year-old vehicle. The recorded intervals show a steady annual average of approximately 6,936 miles, with no sudden spikes or suspiciously long dormant periods. The 10,665-mile jump between the May 2025 test at 44,825 miles and the May 2026 test at 55,490 miles indicates regular daily use rather than a recent high-mileage stint. The record is complete with no gaps, providing a reliable chronological picture of the vehicle’s service life. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyre sidewalls and tread condition. The advisory for perishing appeared in both the 2025 and 2026 tests, suggesting the rubber has been degrading over time. Although the most recent test passed, perished tyres can deteriorate rapidly, so checking the date codes and replacing any aged rubber is prudent. The TPMS warning light recorded in February 2023 also warrants attention, as a recurring slow puncture or a faulty sensor could still be present if the system has not been recalibrated. The headlamp aim defects from the February 2023 failure were corrected before the retest on the same day, but a quick beam alignment check during any test drive remains worthwhile. Beyond the flagged items, the MOT history contains no structural corrosion, suspension wear, or braking defects, which is encouraging for a vehicle of this age. A thorough inspection of the suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust system for age-related wear is still advisable, as these components are not always captured in advisory notes but deteriorate naturally past 55,000 miles.
