2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · YN16 SGY

The Hyundai Tucson holds a roadworthy pass as of its latest MOT on 15 April 2025 at 71,825 miles, some fifteen months before the current date, with the tester logging zero defects. The maintenance trend across the supplied records is stable and clean. Every annual examination from 3 March 2022 through to April 2025 returned a pass with no advisories, barring a curious same-day failure on 3 March 2022 at 34,993 miles that also recorded no defects, indicating an administrative quirk rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage pattern relative to the 2016 build date shows a stark split in usage. Early tests document light running: 34,993 miles in March 2022, 38,157 by March 2023, and 42,987 by April 2024, a yearly average below 4,500 miles. The following twelve months to April 2025 added 28,838 miles, pushing the total to 71,825 and overturning the low-mileage profile. This sudden accumulation suggests an ownership change or revised duty cycle, and the sparse record leaves gaps that a buyer must corroborate with service invoices. No recurring faults or structural warnings appear in the DVSA data, so the Tucson carries no flagged suspension, brake, or corrosion issues. Still, the age and the late high-mileage year demand a hands-on check of components that MOTs can miss when fresh. The tester should scrutinise suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or fracture, spin each wheel to confirm brake calipers are not binding, and measure disc thickness after the extra load. Underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions warrant a ramp inspection for rust given ten winters of exposure. The buyer must also resolve the March 2022 dual entry by obtaining the original failure notice; a clean pass with no defects logged twice the same day often points to a clerical re-test, but verification protects against hidden history.
