Hyundai Tucson Prem B Drive 2wd CRDI (2017)
2017 Hyundai Tucson Prem B Drive 2wd CRDI
CarHunch analysed 161 real MOT records for the 2017 Hyundai Tucson Prem B Drive 2wd CRDI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2017 Hyundai Tucson diesel falls well short of the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of just 66% against the national 80%—a meaningful gap that suggests more frequent issues at MOT time. The good news is that no vehicles in this cohort have ever shown a dangerous defect, so while reliability isn't stellar, you're not looking at safety-critical failures.
At around 62,000 miles, these cars are showing modest wear for their age, yet they're averaging 0.11 failures per vehicle, which is reasonably low in absolute terms. Before committing to one, run a full pre-purchase inspection focusing on common diesel durability weak points—suspension and emissions systems stand out as areas where these models have historically stumbled.
What to check before buying a 2017 Hyundai Tucson Prem B Drive 2wd CRDI
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
