2021 Hyundai Tucson SE Connect Tgdi Mhev SA 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · LM71 RXW

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, having successfully passed its most recent MOT on 28 January 2026 at 53,447 miles. While the record shows a failure immediately preceding the pass on both the 2026 and 2025 test dates, the absence of recorded defects suggests these failures were likely administrative or related to minor issues rectified on-site, such as a temporary emissions reading error or a faulty bulb. The lack of recurring mechanical advisories or structural warnings indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a satisfactory standard throughout its five-year service life. The recorded mileage of 53,447 miles over five years aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per annum. The steady accumulation of distance between the 36,601 miles recorded in January 2025 and the current figure indicates consistent use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. This level of usage is generally favourable for the mild-hybrid system, as it prevents the battery degradation and seized brake components often associated with long-term storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the vehicle is now entering a mileage bracket where these consumables typically require replacement. Given the lack of specific advisories in the MOT history, verify that the service book contains evidence of regular oil changes and filter replacements to support the MHEV drivetrain. Check the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on the exhaust system or suspension components, as these are the primary areas prone to wear at this age. The overall history suggests a well-cared-for vehicle, but a thorough test drive remains necessary to ensure the transition between the petrol engine and electric motor remains smooth and free of hesitation.
