2016 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · BV66 EPO

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 30 April 2025 at 65,296 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all legal standards. While a failure occurred on 06 November 2024 at 63,761 miles, the vehicle was rectified and retested just two days later, suggesting the owner is proactive in addressing immediate faults rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. Between November 2022 and November 2023, the car covered 21,242 miles, which represents a period of high usage. However, the usage dropped significantly in the following year, covering only 11,157 miles between November 2023 and November 2024. This fluctuation in annual mileage does not inherently indicate mechanical failure, but can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake seals if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on preventative areas that stationary tests do not always capture. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension bushes and control arms for tearing, as these are common points of wear on heavier SUVs regardless of mileage. Because the mileage is relatively low, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when a vehicle is used infrequently. Checking the structural integrity of the underside for early corrosion is also advisable to ensure the low mileage has not masked long-term environmental damage to the chassis.
