2021 Hyundai Tucson ULT T-GDI Mhev 4X4 S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · KY71 WNU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection, though the maintenance trend indicates a minor shift toward deferred component replacement. In the October 2025 test at 61,334 miles, the tester flagged nearside rear brake pads as wearing thin. This represents a progression from the previous 2024 test, where only a minor tyre-related issue was noted. While the car currently meets legal standards, the advisory suggests that consumables are now nearing their limit. The mileage pattern reflects consistent heavy usage, averaging approximately 12,267 miles per year over its five-year lifespan. Between the October 2024 test at 45,669 miles and the October 2025 test, the vehicle covered 15,665 miles in a single year. This high rate of annual accumulation typically puts accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems compared to lower-mileage city vehicles. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear braking system to ensure the nearside pads have been replaced and are not showing further thinning. Given the thin pads noted at 61,334 miles, checking the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear is essential to ensure the calipers have not been binding excessively. Additionally, the high mileage justifies a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as components often begin to degrade after 60,000 miles.
