2012 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · KM62 AAN

The Hyundai Santa Fe holds a valid roadworthy pass from the 22 September 2025 test at 144,202 miles, a result sitting roughly ten months before the 14 July 2026 evaluation date and recording zero defects. Maintenance trend stays stable across the documented life, with the tester granting passes on 27 September 2024 at 134,542 miles and 29 September 2023 at 124,864 miles with no advisories. An anomalous failure on 26 September 2023 at the same 124,864 miles carried no listed defects yet reversed three days later, pointing to an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than mechanical regression. Mileage progression reflects typical ageing vehicle use. From 119,005 miles at the 23 September 2022 test to 144,202 miles in September 2025, the Santa Fe added about 25,000 miles across three years, averaging near 8,400 annually and slightly under the expected 10,300-mile norm. The record displays consecutive September examinations with no gaps or abrupt accumulation suggesting fleet abuse. Sparse but clean entries indicate prior owners maintained regular statutory testing, though absence of advisories limits insight into consumable rotation. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive structures and mechanics despite the unblemished ledger. The tester flagged no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers or corrosion, yet a fourteen-year-old chassis at six-figure mileage often hides subframe rust, degraded exhaust emissions compliance and worn dampers off the ramp. Verify tyre tread depth and wiper blades as minor consumables. The unexplained 2023 failure warrants a DVSA history check to confirm no omitted fault before completing purchase.
