Our Verdict
This is a reasonable option for those seeking a mid-sized diesel SUV, provided the mileage is acceptable for your needs. The recent MOT history shows a clean pass record despite some previous failures.
When inspecting this specific Tucson, verify that the service history aligns with the increased mileage, as it has travelled much more than the typical 8,061 miles per year seen in the aggregate data. Given the engine size (1685cc), ensure the timing belt and water pump intervals have been strictly adhered to, as these are critical for this diesel variant.
Negotiate based on the fact that the vehicle has required MOT failures in two consecutive years, even if those issues were resolved. Check for any signs of wear in the suspension and braking components, as these are common areas for attention in high-mileage diesel SUVs.
As a 1.7L diesel, this Tucson is designed for higher-mileage driving, offering better fuel economy on motorways than petrol equivalents. However, buyers should be mindful of potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges depending on the specific Euro emission standard of this 2015 model.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve regular diesel particulate filter (DPF) considerations if driven primarily in urban environments. Expect annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, to sit in a moderate bracket for a mid-sized SUV.
Focus your inspection on the braking system and exhaust, as these are the top failure reasons recorded for this model type across the aggregate data. While the recent MOTs show no defects, the history of failures in 2024 and 2025 suggests these areas may require periodic monitoring.
Additionally, check the condition of the windscreen wipers and the integrity of the windscreen, as these have been noted as common failure points for this model. Given the 95,529 miles recorded, a thorough check of the suspension bushings and tyre tread depth is also advised.
This 2015 white Hyundai Tucson features a 1.7L diesel engine and has covered 95,529 miles as of its last MOT in May 2025. While the vehicle has experienced MOT failures in both 2024 and 2025, it has successfully passed its most recent tests without recorded defects. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 8,061 miles per year.
The Hyundai Tucson shows an average MOT pass rate of 85.6% across the analysed fleet, with common issues involving exhausts and braking systems.
