Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Hyundai Tucson Premium T Gdi MHEV S A?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

Moderate sample. 419 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

This 2022 Tucson is a strong performer: its 91.8% first-time pass rate significantly beats the UK average of 80%, and only 1.9% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, well below the concern threshold. The hybrid powertrain shows no weak spots—all 418 vehicles tested are the same Hybrid Electric variant, and they're passing reliably across the board.

At around 24,600 miles median (typical for a two-year-old), these Tucsons are racking up modest annual mileage, which helps explain the low failure rate of just 0.14 per vehicle. When you do take one in for MOT, expect minimal issues—grab the service history and check the hybrid battery's warranty status before purchase, since that's the one component you'll want peace of mind on.

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson Premium T Gdi MHEV S A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (94% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
