2016 HYUNDAI SANTA FE2.2L Diesel

The 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 12 May 2025 at 64,245 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior annual examinations from May 2022 through May 2024 also returned passes with no advisories, showing consistent mechanical condition across the recorded lifespan. The vehicle carries no outstanding warnings or recurring fault patterns in the official data. Annual mileage sits at a modest average of roughly 6,400 miles per year against the 10-year age, with the record tracing 45,258 miles on 31 May 2022, 50,853 on 9 May 2023, 56,988 on 27 May 2024, and 64,245 on 12 May 2025. The progression is linear and low-use, with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA log is sparse and clean, showing only a duplicate entry for 31 May 2022 where the car first failed then passed on the same day at identical mileage, with no defects cited either time, suggesting an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the vehicle's decade of service, though no advisories flag these yet. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity notes in any test implies previous owners kept the underside cared for, but standing periods implied by low mileage can hide perished rubber components. Verify the 2022 duplicate failure was clerical by checking the V5C and prior owner history before purchase.
