Hyundai Tucson used buying guide
A genuinely good family SUV with a long warranty. Buy a petrol or a documented diesel and it's a low-stress car.
Medium riskTypical from ~£9,000
Common issues to watch
- •1.6 T-GDi and diesel cars with the 7-speed DCT can judder at low speed — test in traffic and check for actuator or clutch work.
- •Earlier 1.7 CRDi diesels need clean EGR/DPF and injector-seal checks; the 48V mild-hybrid system throws warnings on neglected cars.
- •Check for stone chips and corrosion on the bonnet edge and tailgate, and confirm recall work on later (2021+) cars.
What to check before you buy
- Test the DCT at walking pace in traffic.
- Check DPF and EGR health on diesels.
- Confirm the service record — the 5-year unlimited-mileage warranty is transferable if intact.
Our verdict
