2018 Hyundai Tucson 1.7L Diesel · YR18 OUY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in July 2025 with 69,070 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance history shows an improving trend regarding critical safety systems. While the car failed in May 2025 due to excessive parking brake movement and fluctuating front service brakes, the subsequent pass just two months later indicates that the owner addressed these specific mechanical issues to bring the vehicle back up to DVSA standards. At 69,070 miles over eight years, the Tucson has averaged approximately 8,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage averages for a family SUV. There is a notable gap in mileage between December 2023 and December 2024, where the vehicle covered only 668 miles in twelve months, followed by a more rapid accumulation of over 9,600 miles in the following year. This pattern suggests periods of long use, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or brake caliper corrosion during periods of inactivity. A buyer should specifically inspect the parking brake system in person, as recurring failures in December 2023 and May 2025 suggest potential issues with adjustment or cable tension. The fluctuating front brakes noted in the 2025 failure also indicate thin or warped brake discs, which should be checked for surface unevenness and minimum thickness. Additionally, the 2023 failure for tyres worn uneven on the edges suggests previous alignment issues, so a check of the current tyre tread pattern is advisable to ensure the wear is not premature.
