This 2021 Tucson is a strong performer at first-time MOT, passing 93.2% of tests against the UK average of 80%—a significant 13-point advantage. The hybrid variant edges out the petrol version (94.9% vs 91.2% pass rate), and dangerous defects are rare at just 3%, so safety isn't a concern here.
At 27,838 miles median, these vehicles are running low mileage for their age, suggesting careful ownership and minimal wear. With only 0.2 failures per vehicle and 1.4 advisories on average, these Tucsons are proving reliable, but if you're buying one, check the service history to confirm the previous owner maintained it properly—that's likely the reason these particular examples are performing so well.
What to check before buying a 2021 Hyundai Tucson Premium T Gdi MHEV
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
