2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · YP68 YRG

The most recent MOT from August 2025 shows a pass, but it highlights that both rear brake pads are wearing thin. While the vehicle passed, these advisories indicate that the braking system is nearing a required service interval. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear related to consumables and suspension components. You have seen issues with tyres in 2022, suspension arm bushes in 2024, and now brake pads in 2025. This suggests a trend of standard wear and tear rather than a single catastrophic failure, but the frequency of advisories indicates the vehicle is entering a phase where maintenance costs may increase. The condition trend appears to be slightly worsening in terms of the frequency of advisories, moving from a single tyre issue to suspension components and now to the braking system. With approximately 7,586 miles per year, the mileage is typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. This level of usage suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, which is generally positive for mechanical health, but it also means components like brakes and suspension are subject to predictable, ongoing wear. Before purchasing, you should inspect the rear brake pads and discs to see how much life is actually left, and check the condition of the suspension bushes to ensure the issues noted in 2024 have been addressed.
