2021 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate T-GDI Mhev S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric · VT21 NPK

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy state, evidenced by the most recent MOT on January 20 2026 at 34,375 miles which passed with no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend as the mechanical issues identified in the previous year have evidently been addressed. The transition from multiple advisories and defects to a clean test sheet suggests the current owner is proactive in responding to necessary repairs. The mileage profile is consistent and typical for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,875 miles per annum. Between February 2024 at 19,937 miles and February 2025 at 27,117 miles, the car covered 7,180 miles, showing steady usage patterns. The subsequent 7,258 miles covered over the following eleven months maintain this low-impact profile. Such low annual mileage generally reduces stress on the drivetrain components and suspension assembly compared to high-mileage vehicles. A physical inspection should focus on the areas previously flagged during the 2025 test to ensure lasting repairs. The tester previously noted worn nearside front and offside rear brake discs, alongside a cracked exhaust back box weld and a minor CVVD oil leak. While the 2026 pass suggests these are rectified, a buyer should verify the absence of residual weeping oil or inspect the exhaust system for new corrosion or structural fractures. Checking the engine bay around the CVVD will confirm the previously noted leak has not progressed into a more significant mechanical failure.
