2010 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · CT60 ADO

DVSA testers passed the vehicle on 5 December 2025 at 119,524 miles with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthy status. The maintenance trend stays stable across the three most recent annual tests. Earlier, the same mileage of 103,467 on 18 November 2023 produced a fail with no defects cited, followed by a pass two days later. A repeat pattern occurred on 26 November 2024 at 111,307 miles, where a fail with no defects preceded a pass on the same date. Such anomalies imply administrative or documentation gaps rather than mechanical deterioration, as no advisories ever appeared. Mileage progression reflects typical private use for a 2010 model. The odometer read 103,467 miles at the November 2023 pass, climbed to 111,307 miles by November 2024, and reached 119,524 miles by December 2025. Annual distances span 7,840 and 8,217 miles respectively, matching the ~7,470 mile yearly average across sixteen years. No sudden accumulation or standing gaps emerge from the sparse record. The clean test outcomes at each stage show the previous owners maintained basic statutory compliance. Buyers should still inspect inherent age-related components that MOT sheets may omit. The tester flagged no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, but a Santa Fe at 119,524 miles can conceal worn suspension arms or subframe rust. Check for binding calipers, exhaust integrity, and tyre tread wear in person. The unexplained fail entries merit a request for original failure certificates to rule out omitted minor defects. Physical appraisal of structural integrity remains essential before purchase.
