Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Hyundai Tucson Premium Tgdi PHEV 4x4 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.

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

This 2022 Tucson PHEV is a strong performer on the MOT front, with a 91.3% first-time pass rate that significantly outpaces the UK average of 80%—a 11-point lead that suggests solid build quality and owner maintenance habits. The dangerous defect rate sits at just 2.9%, well below any concern threshold, so safety isn't a red flag here.

At 33,654 miles median mileage for a two-year-old vehicle, these cars are running lower than typical for their age, which explains the low failure rate of 0.14 per vehicle. The 0.6 advisories per car are modest, indicating minor wear rather than systemic problems, but if you're buying one used, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the hybrid battery and cooling system to catch any edge cases the MOT doesn't fully expose.

The 2022 Hyundai Tucson Premium Tgdi PHEV 4x4 A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (93.5% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.
