2021 HYUNDAI TUCSON PREMIUM T-GDI1.6L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The latest test in February 2026 at 42,897 miles resulted in a failure due to a split rear exhaust pipe and a non-functional fog lamp. While the vehicle passed immediately after these repairs, the presence of a split exhaust system suggests that the owner only addressed mechanical faults once they became significant enough for an MOT failure. At 42,897 miles over five years, the Tucson has clocked an average of approximately 8,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a modern SUV. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with 5,483 miles covered between August 2024 and February 2025, and another 10,752 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat for extended periods, which generally benefits seals and rubber components. A buyer should pay close attention to the vehicle's alignment and suspension geometry. The 2024 test at 26,628 miles and the 2025 test at 32,145 miles both flagged front tyres worn close to the limit with specific edge wear. This recurring pattern points to a persistent tracking issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been rectified despite tyre replacements. A physical inspection of the front suspension is required to ensure that uneven wear is not causing premature degradation of the next set of tyres.
