2021 Hyundai Tucson SE Nv48v MHEV Crdi2wdsa
CarHunch analysed 469 real MOT records for the 2021 Hyundai Tucson SE Nv48v MHEV Crdi2wdsa. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2021 Tucson hybrid diesel is a strong performer, with a 90.1% first-time pass rate well above the UK average of 80%, and only 4.9% of vehicles ever showing a dangerous defect—nothing to worry a potential buyer. The hybrid powertrain appears reliable, with the electric diesel variant achieving a 89.7% pass rate.
These vehicles are running at reasonable mileage for their age (median 29,105 miles), suggesting they're not being hammered, and the low failure rate of 0.28 per car indicates the mechanical fundamentals are sound. The average of 1.6 advisories per vehicle is fairly typical, but if you're considering one, check the service history carefully and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the hybrid battery and diesel emissions components, as those are where costs can bite.
What to check before buying a 2021 Hyundai Tucson SE Nv48v MHEV Crdi2wdsa
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.
