2021 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate T-GDI HEV Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · YS71 ACX

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 6 November 2025, and the overall maintenance trend appears stable with no recorded failures. While the vehicle has successfully passed its periodic inspections, the emergence of advisories regarding consumables suggests the car is entering a phase where routine wear and tear components will require more frequent attention to maintain its roadworthy status. With a recorded mileage of 65,820 miles over approximately five years, this vehicle has averaged roughly 13,164 miles per annum. This usage rate is considered high for this model and age, which typically accelerates the degradation of suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain mounts. Prospective buyers should be aware that higher mileage increases the likelihood of wear on the hybrid system auxiliary components and requires a more rigorous verification of the service history to ensure oil and filter intervals have been strictly adhered to. Particular attention must be paid to the rear axle during the physical inspection. The most recent advisory regarding rear tyres being worn on the edges and out of shape is a significant indicator of potential wheel misalignment or worn suspension components. On a test drive, listen for any unusual humming or droning from the rear and inspect the inner and outer shoulders of the tyres for irregular wear patterns. This often points to incorrect camber or toe settings, which, if left unaddressed, will lead to premature tyre failure and compromised handling. Furthermore, the previous advisory regarding the visibility of the rear brake pads suggests that the braking system is nearing a service interval. You should check for any brake shudder during deceleration and ensure the pedal feel is firm and consistent. Given the high mileage and hybrid powertrain, verify that the coolant levels for both the engine and the inverter are correct and that there are no visible leaks around the seals. A full review of the service book is essential to confirm that the vehicle has received its scheduled maintenance, as high mileage hybrid electric vehicles rely heavily on fluid integrity to maintain efficiency and long term reliability.
