2010 Hyundai Tucson: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 54% pass first time (all 2010 cars: 60%) Stands out: exhaust system 2.7× 156 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 59% pass first time (all 2010 cars: 60%) Stands out: rigid brake pipes 2.8×, drive shaft (cv) joints 2.4× 605 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
