2021 Hyundai Tucson 1.6L Petrol · EX70 TWF

The 2021 Hyundai Tucson currently holds a valid MOT certificate following its pass on 25 May 2026 at 52,285 miles. The maintenance trend reveals a pattern of prompt mechanical repairs mixed with deferred consumable upkeep. The tester flagged both front tyres wearing close to the legal limit on the edges during the May 2025 test at 47,982 miles. The previous owner ignored this warning for a full year, as the exact same advisory appeared on the May 2026 certificate. The latest test also notes the rear brake pads are wearing thin. Recording 52,285 miles over five years equates to an average of roughly 10,400 miles annually. This represents typical usage for a vehicle of this class. The odometer readings show a steady and consistent accumulation. The car covered 3,445 miles between the November 2023 and June 2024 tests, followed by 3,580 miles over the next eleven months. The final 4,303 miles were logged in the twelve months leading up to May 2026. This regular driving pattern prevents the issues associated with long periods of standing and generally preserves drivetrain health. A physical inspection must address the recurring front tyre wear pattern. Continuous wear on the edges often points to excessive negative camber or worn suspension bushes, meaning a full wheel alignment check is necessary. The November 2023 failure at 40,957 miles highlighted a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft joint constant velocity boot and a central front brake lever with insufficient reserve travel. The subsequent pass three days later confirms a garage rectified these specific mechanical faults. A buyer should still verify the replacement constant velocity gaiter remains intact and free of grease leaks. The previous headlamp condensation and loose rear plastic trim suggest a history of minor exterior neglect. Checking the brake fluid level and pedal feel remains critical given the historical brake lever advisory and the current thin rear pads.
