2021 Hyundai Tucson N Line T-GDI HEV Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · GF71 UFT

A persistent, low‑level oil leak has been flagged on every MOT since October 2024, indicating a defect that has not been fully resolved, while a dangerous condition on the off‑side front tyre was recorded in November 2025 and corrected before the subsequent pass. The pattern shows one serious safety failure that was remedied promptly, alongside an ongoing minor leak that remains advisory rather than a failure. At 38,319 mi for a 2021 model the annual average of roughly 7,600 mi is typical for a vehicle of this age, suggesting neither excessive short‑term abuse nor prolonged inactivity. The MOT history shows regular testing with no extended gaps, implying the mileage has been accrued under normal usage conditions. Such mileage places the car into the mid‑life stage for consumables such as tyres, brake pads and suspension bushings, which will be approaching their service intervals. Prospective buyers should verify the source of the oil leak by inspecting the engine bay for fresh drips, checking the oil level and looking for oil stains on the ground after the vehicle has been parked. A qualified mechanic should pressure‑test the cooling and lubrication circuits and confirm that any gasket, valve‑cover or oil‑filter housing seals are intact, as an unchecked leak could lead to reduced oil pressure or overheating under load. The front tyre condition must be examined closely: confirm that both front tyres have even tread depth, no exposed cords, and no sidewall cuts, and that the tyre pressures match the manufacturer’s specifications. While driving, listen for any thumping or vibration that could indicate tyre imbalance or remaining wear issues, and feel for any pull to one side that might reveal residual suspension or steering component wear stemming from the earlier tyre failure. A visual inspection of the windscreen for the noted minor damage is also advisable.
