2021 HYUNDAI TUCSON PREMIUM T-GDI1.6L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a lapse in proactive mechanical care. While the Tucson passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 42,850 miles, it failed an inspection just one month prior at the same mileage. The trend shows a reactive approach to maintenance, where the owner only addressed defects after they were flagged as failing points, rather than monitoring component wear before it reached the legal limit. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-mileage vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. There is an 11,244-mile gap between the July 2024 test at 31,606 miles and the August 2025 failure at 42,850 miles. This interval suggests the vehicle is not used extensively, yet the condition of the offside front tyre after this distance indicates that basic consumables were not being monitored or replaced between annual testing intervals. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the record specifically noted the offside front tyre was worn on the edge. This type of wear often points to misalignment, worn ball joints, or failing suspension bushes. The previous failure regarding the driver's seat moving inadvertently also requires a physical check of the seat rails and locking mechanism to ensure the fix was secure and not prone to further loosening. Given the lack of structural corrosion noted in the history, the focus should remain on these mechanical wear items and the overall condition of the tyre set.
