2016 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · CE16 PXW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT on 09 March 2026 at 51,421 miles. This result indicates that any previous mechanical or safety concerns have been addressed or have not progressed. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car has passed its last five annual inspections without failure, suggesting a reliable history of upkeep. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old Hyundai Santa Fe, averaging approximately 5,142 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the vehicle covered 16,805 miles, reflecting a pattern of light urban use rather than long-distance commuting. While low mileage generally correlates with less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or minor corrosion on brake surfaces if the vehicle sits for extended periods between journeys. A buyer should pay attention to the single minor defect recorded during the 14 February 2025 test at 47,482 miles. The tester flagged slight play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent test without this issue being listed as an advisory, a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, including bushes and ball joints, is advisable to ensure the component has not developed further play. Given the low annual mileage, checking for surface corrosion on brake discs and calipers is also prudent, as these areas suffer on vehicles that are not used frequently.
