Tyres — 9.3% of failures
Tyres issues account for 9.3% of MOT failures on the Hyundai Tucson N Ln48v Mhev Crdi2wd Sa.

Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.

Brakes issues account for 4.2% of MOT failures on the Hyundai Tucson N Ln48v Mhev Crdi2wd Sa. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
Visibility — 3.8% of failures
Visibility issues account for 3.8% of MOT failures on the Hyundai Tucson N Ln48v Mhev Crdi2wd Sa. Visibility failures relate to the windscreen, wipers, washers, mirrors, and view-obstructing damage. Cracks in the windscreen swept area, ineffective wipers, or empty washer bottles are common causes. Typical repair costs: £10–300. Pre-MOT check: Check the windscreen for chips and cracks — damage larger than 10mm in the driver's swept area or 40mm elsewhere will fail. Test washers and wipers.
