2022 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate Tgdi Phev 4X4A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · YS22 FNG

This Hyundai Tucson PHEV has passed its most recent MOT test on 18 June 2025 at just 16,073 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. The absence of any failures or repeated issues suggests the vehicle has maintained a stable roadworthiness status over its limited MOT history. However, the single test date—just over a year ago—means there is no recent data to confirm ongoing reliability beyond the current pass. The lack of advisories is notable, as it implies no hidden or deferred maintenance has been flagged by testers, though this does not preclude wear that hasn’t yet reached MOT thresholds. The recorded mileage of 16,073 miles over approximately four years equates to around 4,018 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and category. Such low mileage could indicate either very light usage, extended periods of storage, or potential odometer tampering, though the latter is harder to verify without additional evidence. The sparse MOT history—only one test in the past year—also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been regularly serviced or driven enough to develop measurable wear. Without further data points, it is impossible to determine whether the low mileage reflects genuine low usage or irregular maintenance. Given the limited MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely checked in a standard MOT. The hybrid drivetrain, including the high-voltage battery and associated cooling systems, warrants thorough examination, particularly for fluid leaks or degraded connections. The suspension—especially the rear bushes and coil springs—should be assessed for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common points of failure in PHEVs due to weight distribution and electrical interference risks. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as the MOT’s silence does not guarantee absence of pre-failure conditions. Additionally, the vehicle’s underbody and wheel arches should be scrutinised for corrosion, given the potential for moisture ingress in a four-wheel-drive model with frequent off-road use.
