2016 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · RK16 AET

The 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 March 2026 at 36,720 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Annual testing from 22 February 2022 at 21,672 miles through to the 2026 examination shows steady, low annual use. The car covered roughly 4,000 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, then settled to about 3,300 to 4,000 miles per year thereafter, reaching 32,767 miles by 3 March 2025. At ten years old with 36,720 recorded miles, the figure equates to circa 3,672 miles per annum, well below typical fleet averages. The DVSA data contains no gaps, failures, or advisories, which suggests consistent statutory testing rather than deferred or patchy upkeep. No advisories appear for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframes, as standing periods implied by low mileage can mask surface rust not yet at test-threshold severity. Verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades, though none were flagged, and confirm service history to corroborate the low-mileage claim given the absence of recorded wear items.
