What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — visibility (3.2%) and tyres (2.8%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are tread depth, wipers and headlamp aim — tread depth alone was recorded 16 times.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 14.8% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.
The trend is worsening — 6.5% of tests failed in 2023 against 8.8% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.

What to check before buying a 2020 Tucsn Prm Se48V Crdi2Wdsa
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: visibility accounted for 3.2% of tests. Start there.
- Visibility (3.2% of tests): Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair: £15–£150.
- Tyres (2.8% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Lighting & signalling (2.2% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
