2021 Hyundai Tucson Premium T-GDI Mhev S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric · CX71 YFV

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status having passed its most recent inspection on 21 November 2025 at 24,157 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of mechanical compliance but reveals a recurring pattern of tyre-related issues. While the car has avoided major structural or mechanical failures, the repeated advisories regarding rubber degradation suggest a lapse in proactive replacement of consumable components before they reach critical wear. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per annum. Between the November 2024 test at 15,361 miles and the November 2025 test at 24,157 miles, the car covered 8,796 miles. This low rate of use suggests the vehicle likely sits for extended periods, which correlates directly with the observed perishing and cracking noted on the tyres across two consecutive tests despite the relatively low tread depth. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres before purchase. The 2025 test flagged three tyres for perishing and damage, while the 2024 test noted a nail in the nearside rear tyre. These issues indicate that the rubber compound is failing due to age and inactivity rather than distance. You should also inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from flash rust and seized calipers when they are not used frequently enough to clear the braking surfaces.
