Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for buyers seeking a modern hybrid SUV. The clean MOT history and relatively low mileage make it a compelling option within the Tucson range.
When viewing this specific 1.6L hybrid, ensure you verify the service history to complement its clean MOT record. While the MOTs show no defects, a full service history is essential for maintaining the hybrid battery system and the automatic transmission.
Negotiate based on the current mileage and check for any signs of wear on the interior, as the 'Ultimate' trim often features premium materials. Since the model aggregate data shows common failures related to tyres and windscreen washers, check these components specifically during your inspection.
As a Hybrid Electric (Clean) vehicle, this Tucson is designed for efficiency, which should result in competitive fuel economy compared to pure petrol counterparts. Tax bands for this 1598cc hybrid engine are generally moderate, though you should verify the exact rate for the 2021 registration year.
Insurance groups for the 'Ultimate' trim tend to be mid-range due to the higher specification and technology. Typical maintenance costs will involve standard servicing, but keep an eye on tyre replacement costs, as tyres are a noted failure point for this model type across the wider dataset.
Focus your inspection on the consumables. The aggregate data for this model indicates that tyres, windscreen washer systems, and brake discs are frequent MOT failure points; even though this specific vehicle has passed without defects, testing the washer jets and checking tyre tread depth is prudent.
Additionally, check the hybrid system's integration and the smoothness of the automatic gearbox. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, ensure there are no unexpected advisories regarding brake wear or suspension components that could lead to future MOT failures.
