2021 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate T-GDI 1.6L Petrol · DF21 UTC

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a largely stable maintenance trend. Although the most recent test on 9 April 2026 at 25,048 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional front windscreen washer, the issue was rectified immediately to allow a pass with no further defects recorded. Prior to this, the vehicle achieved two clean passes, suggesting that the mechanical and structural integrity has remained within acceptable operating parameters. The mileage pattern indicates low usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per annum. Between the June 2024 test at 15,929 miles and the 2025 test at 19,594 miles, the car covered 3,665 miles, while the subsequent year saw 5,454 miles added before the latest re-test. This consistent low mileage generally implies less wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and brake pads, though long periods of standing between tests can sometimes lead to flat-spot tyres or seized brake calipers. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the washer system and fluid levels, as the recent failure highlights a minor oversight in basic fluid-related maintenance. Given the low mileage, verify that the brakes show no signs of excessive corrosion or pitting, which can occur when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods. Check the tyres for cracking in the rubber components, a common issue for age-age vehicles that are rarely driven but exposed to the environmental elements.
