2017 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · YP67 TVC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 52,895 miles passed, the tester issued advisories for both front tyres being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a pattern of deferred maintenance where components are only addressed once they reach the point of failure rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. At 52,895 miles over nine years, the Tucson has covered a low average of approximately 5,877 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine, yet the record reveals signs of stationary degradation. Between November 2021 at 29,850 miles and November 2022 at 35,683 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 6,000 miles. The 2021 advisory regarding a perishing nearside rear tyre suggests rubber rot, a common issue for vehicles that sit idle for long periods despite low mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the uneven edge wear noted in the 2025 test often indicates tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. The brake system shows a recurring history of thin front pads flagged in both 2023 and 2024, suggesting the previous owner waited until the pads were critically low before replacement. Verification of the brake discs for scoring or glazing is necessary, as the consistent delay in replacing pads can cause permanent damage to the rotors.
