2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · YB68 ABF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent pass on 24 April 2026 at 54,281 miles. The maintenance trend has shifted from a clean record to one showing neglect of basic consumables. While the car passed its last test, it did so only after failing on the same day due to both front tyres falling below the legal 1.6mm limit. The tester also flagged rear brake pads as wearing thin, which remains an active advisory. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,785 miles per year. There is a notable increase in annual usage recently, with the odometer climbing from 43,109 miles in April 2025 to 54,281 miles by April 2026. This jump of over 11,000 miles in a single year explains the accelerated wear on the tyres and brakes compared to previous years. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system. The April 2026 advisory regarding thin rear brake pads suggests they are nearing the end of their service life and will require immediate replacement. The history shows a pattern of ignoring tyre condition, as seen in October 2022 when all four tyres were flagged as perishing or cracking, followed by the legal tread failure in April 2026. Checking the current tyre brand and age is essential to determine if the previous owner simply replaced the minimum required to pass the test or invested in quality rubber. Beyond these consumable items, the record is remarkably clean. There are no mentions of suspension bush failure, coil spring fractures, or structural corrosion, suggesting the chassis and mechanical drivetrain have remained stable throughout its life.
