2010 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · CT60 ADX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test in September 2024 at 139,966 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets minimum legal standards. While a failure occurred in August 2024 at 139,564 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Mileage accumulation remains remarkably consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,750 miles per annum. Between July 2021 and September 2024, the car covered 33,907 miles, showing a steady rate of use without long periods of inactivity or sudden heavy strain. The intervals between MOT tests are regular, generally falling between 11,000 and 12,000-mile increments. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used consistently, which often helps prevent the degradation of seals and rubber components associated with long-term standing. Given the absence of recurring mechanical faults or advisories in the history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related wear common to the Santa Fe platform of this era. Pay close attention to structural corrosion on the chassis, particularly the sills and trailing arms, as MOT tests often only flag surface rust until it becomes a structural concern. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue, as the weight of the vehicle accelerates wear on these components. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear or binding calipers is also advisable to ensure the clean MOT record reflects the current state of the braking system.
