2021 Hyundai Tucson Premium T-GDI 1.6L Petrol · FV21 DWF

The Tucson holds a clean MOT certificate dated 16 April 2026 at 39,277 miles with zero defects recorded. That pass came the day after a failure on 15 April 22026 at 39,271 miles, where the tester flagged insufficient washer fluid and front and rear brake pads wearing thin. The fact that those items were rectified overnight suggests the failures were basic consumable issues rather than deep mechanical faults. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with no recurring structural or serious mechanical defects across the full history. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a five-year-old vehicle. The car stood at 30,417 miles in April 2024, climbed to 34,985 miles by April 2025, and reached 39,277 miles by April 2026, averaging roughly 4,500 to 4,700 miles per year over the last two annual tests. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record, and the mileage progression aligns with steady, regular use rather than long periods of standing or high-mileage fleet work. The 2025 test at 34,985 miles flagged front brake discs worn, pitted or scored, though not seriously weakened, alongside front brake pads wearing thin. Combined with the April 2026 failure for thin pads front and rear, this points to a pattern of above-average brake wear. A buyer should inspect the condition of the front and rear discs and pads in person, checking for lipping, scoring, and uneven wear. The nearside rear child seat restriction noted in 2025 prevented a full adult belt inspection, so the seatbelt webbing, reel, and buckle on that side should be physically checked for fraying, cuts, or slow retraction. The windscreen washer and wiper faults in 2024 and 2026 were minor, but a live test of washer jet aim and wiper blade condition is still wise. No corrosion, suspension, or structural defects appear in the record, which is a positive sign for a five-year-old SUV.
