AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Hyundai Santa Fe presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 July 2025 at 146,491 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests show no advisories or recurring faults. The vehicle's history indicates consistent upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,269 miles, typical for a 2013 vehicle of this type. The records show steady accumulation: 128,526 miles in August 2022, 133,372 miles in August 2023, 139,317 miles in July 2024, and 146,491 miles in July 2025. The only anomaly is the 1 August 2023 failure at 133,337 miles, followed by a pass the next day at 133,372 miles with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a substantive repair. The clean record across five tests implies the previous owner kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and 146,491 miles. The MOT data shows no flagged wear on these components, but the tests recorded no advisories at all, which means marginal items near limits may not have been noted. Verify the 2023 failure reason through the full DVSA certificate, as the summary shows no defects for either that rejection or the immediate pass.
