2019 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · YS19 FEO

Tyre wear on the off‑side rear, together with headlamp alignment faults recorded in the 2025 MOT, is the only recurring mechanical issue identified; all other tests, including the most recent inspection on 7 August 2026, returned a clean pass with no defects noted. This pattern shows a single episode of non‑compliance that was resolved, while the vehicle’s overall roadworthiness record remains unblemished across four annual tests. At 50,130 miles after seven years the average annual accumulation is roughly 7,200 miles, which sits squarely within normal private‑use expectations. The MOT history shows no prolonged gaps, indicating the vehicle has been regularly tested and therefore likely maintained within the statutory intervals. Such mileage suggests standard wear on consumables—tyres, brakes and suspension components—without the accelerated degradation associated with high‑kilometre usage. Prospective buyers should verify the condition of the off‑side rear tyre immediately; measure tread depth to confirm it exceeds the legal 1.6 mm limit and inspect the sidewall for any signs of cupping or damage that could indicate underlying alignment or suspension issues. A visual check of both headlamps for correct aim, cracked lenses or loose mounting is advisable, and a simple headlamp aim test (checking illumination symmetry on a wall) will confirm that the previous adjustment has been retained. During a test drive, listen for any humming or thumping that could betray uneven tyre wear, and assess steering response for pull to either side, which would hint at alignment or suspension bush wear. Apply the brakes firmly to ensure a stable, vibration‑free pedal feel and consistent stopping distances. Confirm that the vehicle accelerates smoothly without unusual noises from the drivetrain, as no MOT defects have been recorded in those areas, but a thorough sensory check will help verify that no latent issues have developed since the last inspection.
