2021 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate T-GDI HEV Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FY71 ACU

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 28 October 2025 at 41,048 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health suggests the car is mechanically sound at the point of its last official inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a five year old vehicle. Between 7 November 2024 and 28 October 2025, the odometer rose from 31,307 to 41,048 miles, representing a yearly increase of 9,741 miles. This indicates regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps maintain the health of the hybrid battery and braking system. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding defects. The vehicle failed a test on 20 October 2025 at 40,970 miles, yet the record lists no specific defects for that failure. This discrepancy is atypical and suggests either a clerical error in the DVSA logging or a failure on a non-mechanical administrative point. Because the car passed eight days later with no advisories, there is no evidence of recurring mechanical failure or structural deterioration. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on standard wear items that the MOT may not have flagged as critical. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion, as the lack of advisories across multiple tests is rare for a vehicle of this age. Verify the service history to ensure the hybrid system and oil changes were performed on schedule, as the MOT record alone does not confirm preventative maintenance.
