2020 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · YA70 BYL

Recurring tyre wear and a recent decline in braking component condition define the mechanical record of this vehicle. While it achieved a pass on 26 November 2025, this followed an initial failure for an ineffective offside front windscreen wiper and left several critical advisories regarding the braking system and tyres. The history shows a pattern of rear tyre wear flagged across three consecutive years, suggesting a consistent trend of consumables reaching their limit. The recorded mileage of 47,152 miles is typical for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,859 miles per year. This consistent annual accumulation indicates regular use without prolonged periods of inactivity, meaning the drivetrain and engine have been operated under normal conditions. However, this level of usage aligns with the observed wear on the braking system and tyres, as these components are now reaching the end of their expected service life. Immediate attention is required for the front braking system, as the 2025 records explicitly flag thin brake pads and worn, lipped discs. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any pedal judder or pulsation under braking, which often accompanies lipped discs, and listen for grinding or squealing noises that indicate the pads have reached their wear limits. The effectiveness of the braking force should be assessed to ensure there is no excessive travel in the pedal. The persistent advisories regarding rear tyre wear, specifically the offside rear tyre being worn close to the legal limit or on the edge, necessitate a close physical inspection of the tread depth and wear patterns. Uneven wear on the edges can sometimes point to alignment issues or suspension geometry concerns. The buyer should check for any abnormal road noise or vibration at motorway speeds, which may be symptomatic of the recorded tyre condition or underlying tracking problems.
