2021 Hyundai Tucson SE Connect T-GDI 1.6L Petrol · SC21 MXZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 29,596 miles passed, it revealed multiple advisories regarding significant wear on consumable components. Both the front and rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin, and both front tyres are reaching the legal limit with uneven edge wear, indicating that the vehicle is now due for a comprehensive service interval. The mileage profile is low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,400 miles covered between 2025 and 2026. This pattern suggests minimal strain on the drivetrain and engine, though the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to flat-spotting tyres or corrosion of brake discs if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer must personally inspect the braking system and tyres, as the record of thin pads across all axles suggests the hardware is nearing its required replacement. The edge wear on the front tyres also points to a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be checked to prevent further premature degradation. Given the previous failure in 2025 for an insufficient washer system, the buyer should also verify that the washer nozzles and pump are fully functional and free of leaks.
