2021 Hyundai Tucson SE Connect T-GDI Mhev 1.6L Hybrid electric · SC21 VRF

The vehicle presents a clean bill of health following its most recent MOT on 15 June 2026 at 21,923 miles, where the tester recorded zero defects. The maintenance trend is firmly improving. Two years prior, on 21 June 2024 at 13,411 miles, the tester flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on their edges. That advisory pattern resolved by the following test on 11 June 2025 at 17,709 miles, when the only item noted was a nail in the nearside rear tyre, a minor puncture rather than a wear concern. No structural, suspension, braking, or emissions defects appear anywhere in the record. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2021-registered Tucson. Covering just 4,214 miles between June 2024 and June 2025, and 4,214 miles again between June 2025 and June 2026, the car has averaged roughly 4,385 miles per year over its life. Such light use reduces wear on consumables and drivetrain components, though prolonged short trips or extended periods standing can introduce its own risks, particularly with brake surface corrosion, tyre sidewall perishing, and DPF regeneration issues on the T-GDI MHEV powertrain. Despite the clean recent result, the edge-wear pattern recorded on both front tyres in June 2024 warrants a closer look during any in-person inspection. Uneven front tyre wear on a Tucson typically points to tracking misalignment, worn suspension bushes, or degraded front lower arm joints. A buyer should check the inner and outer shoulders of all four tyres for uneven wear, inspect the front suspension components for play, and examine the brake discs and pads for uneven lipping or binding calipers, which the MOT has not flagged historically but which surface on lightly used cars driven predominantly in urban conditions. The underbody and inner wheel arches should also be inspected for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles stored or used on salted roads can still develop localised structural rust around subframes and suspension mounting points.
