2022 Hyundai Tucson N Line S T-GDI 1.6L Petrol · YY22 FAF

This Hyundai Tucson has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in either of the two most recent tests—both in April 2026 and March 2025—at mileages of 32,341 and 24,958 respectively. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has not experienced any recurring mechanical or structural issues during these intervals. However, the most recent test occurred just three months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the record does not indicate any worsening trends, the lack of intermediate MOTs—particularly between March 2025 and April 2026—means there is no data to confirm whether any minor issues were addressed promptly or if any wear developed undetected. The recorded mileage of 32,341 miles over approximately four years equates to an average of around 8,085 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no gaps in service intervals that would suggest prolonged neglect, nor is there evidence of rapid mileage accumulation that might indicate excessive wear on high-stress components. The consistency of mileage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly without prolonged periods of inactivity, which could otherwise lead to issues such as seized suspension joints or degraded fluids. That said, the lack of service records beyond the MOTs means critical maintenance—such as fluid changes, timing belt inspections, or suspension servicing—cannot be verified. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough visual and functional inspection of the suspension components, including the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are common wear items that do not always appear in MOT reports. The brakes, particularly the rear calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as the MOT tester did not flag any brake-related issues in either test. Structural integrity is another key area; the underbody, wheel arches, and sills should be examined for signs of corrosion or damage, especially given the vehicle’s age. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related faults are not always captured in the MOT unless they directly affect drivability or noise levels. The absence of advisories in recent tests is reassuring, but a professional inspection will provide clarity on the condition of components not routinely tested.
