2011 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · BW11 AFF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT in November 2025 with 103,839 miles. This followed a minor failure just three miles prior for a missing offside front road wheel fixing, a simple oversight that was immediately rectified. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows a pattern of addressing reactive consumable items rather than recurring mechanical or structural failures. The owner demonstrates a willingness to resolve identified faults before the next testing cycle. At 15 years old, the recorded 103,839 miles represent an average usage of approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with a family SUV of this age. The history shows consistent annual testing, with a notable gap between July 2019 and December 2020 where the vehicle covered only 6,520 miles. This relatively low mileage suggests the drivetrain has not been subjected to heavy strain, though the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of rubber-based components, such as seals and bushings, degrading regardless of the distance driven. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and drivetrain components, as the record flagged a severely deteriorated offside front inner drive shaft CV boot in November 2024 at 92,225 miles. Such failures often lead to grease loss and joint damage if not monitored. The history also notes thin brake pads and worn discs intermittently between 2018 and 2023, indicating that the braking system requires regular attention. Given the previous reports of uneven tyre wear and bulges in 2015 and 2023, a thorough check of the wheel alignment and suspension bushings is necessary to ensure no premature tyre scrubbing persists.
