Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for those seeking
When inspecting this specific Tucson, pay close attention to the braking system. The most recent MOT in April 2026 noted thin rear brake pads, so you should verify if these have been replaced since that test. Additionally, check the condition of all four tyres, as the 2024 failure was triggered by an offside front tyre being below the legal 1.6mm limit.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent brake servicing to ensure the 2026 advisory has been addressed. Given the mileage is higher than the aggregate average for this model, confirm that the vehicle has followed a consistent maintenance schedule, particularly regarding fluids and filters for the 1591cc petrol engine.
As a 1.6L petrol model, running costs will be moderate compared to diesel counterparts. You can expect typical SUV fuel economy, which will vary based on driving style and load. The insurance group will depend on the specific trim level, but the 1.6L engine is generally manageable for most drivers.
Maintenance costs for this Hyundai should be predictable, though you should budget for regular consumable replacements like tyres and brake pads, which have appeared in the MOT history. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, sits in the mid-range for this vehicle class.
Focus your inspection on the braking components and tyres. The MOT history specifically highlights issues with brake pad thickness (both front offside in 2024 and rear in 2026) and tyre tread depth. Ensure the tyres have ample tread and no uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues.
Beyond the recorded failures, check the general condition of the 1.6L petrol engine's belt and hoses. While not flagged in the MOT, any vehicle approaching 50,000 miles should be checked for signs of minor fluid leaks or excessive engine noise.
This 2021 Hyundai Tucson has covered 48,936 miles, which is slightly above the model average of 8,078 miles per year. The MOT history shows a progression from a failure in 2024 due to tyre and brake wear to a clean pass in 2025, and a recent pass in 2026 with an advisory for thinning rear brake pads. The vehicle's red exterior and 1.6L petrol engine make it a standard, well-presented example of this popular crossover.
The Hyundai Tucson shows an 85.6% average MOT pass rate across the 119,528 vehicles analysed, suggesting generally stable reliability.
