2011 HYUNDAI SANTA FE2.2L Diesel

The Hyundai Santa Fe presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 17 November 2025 at 85,753 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 19 November 2024 test at 83,080 miles also passed without fault. The vehicle shows no escalating mechanical concerns across the supplied record. Recorded mileage sits at 85,753 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 5,717 miles per year. The history shows light annual use: 80,642 miles on 20 October 2023, 80,694 by 31 October 2023, then 83,068 on 5 November 2024 and 83,080 fourteen days later. A jump of about 2,386 miles in the year to November 2024 is modest. Two failed tests in 2023 and 2024 list no defects, implying administrative or presentation issues at the centre rather than mechanical rejection, and the owner promptly retested within days each time. Given the clean advisory-free passes, no recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion faults appear in the data. The low mileage and short gaps between fail and pass suggest the car was not neglected, though prolonged standing common to low-use vehicles can age tyres, seizing calipers, and dry out bushings without triggering an MOT defect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity, brake disc condition, and suspension bushes. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt a fifteen-year-old Santa Fe from age-related rust or perished rubber. Verify service history independently, as the MOT alone confirms legal roadworthiness, not component life remaining.
