2006 Hyundai Santa FE 2.4L Petrol · AN06 ALN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data over the last several years. The most recent MOT test conducted in January 2022 at 99,552 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating the car was in a sound mechanical condition at that time. While a failure occurred in early January 2021, the immediate pass just two days later suggests the issue was minor and was quickly rectified rather than representing a chronic mechanical failure or neglect. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between January 2019 at 81,774 miles and January 2022 at 99,552 miles, the car covered roughly 18,000 miles over three years. However, there is a significant gap in data between the last recorded test in 2022 and the current date in 2026. This suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, which often leads to degradation of rubber components, seals, and brake fluid despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension system. Low-mileage vehicles of this age are prone to corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points which does not show up on mileage alone. Check for seized brake calipers or perished bushes resulting from the likely lack of use. Given the time elapsed since the last record, verifying the age of tyres and belts is essential to ensure the vehicle has not aged adversely while parked.
