2018 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · DF18 OLJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 18 July 2025 at 70,744 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have successfully maintained the vehicle to meet DVSA standards without triggering recurring mechanical or structural failures over the last five years of testing. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old SUV, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between July 2021 at 34,114 miles and July 2025 at 70,744 miles, the vehicle covered 36,630 miles, showing a steady usage profile rather than extreme stress or long periods of neglect. The intervals between tests remain regular, with annual increments between 8,000 and 10,000 miles, suggesting a routine service schedule is generally beneficial to the longevity of the drivetrain and suspension components. Because the MOT record shows no advisories for suspension bushes, brake components, or exhaust corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear items for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should verify the condition of the brake pads and discs for thinning or pitting, as these are not always flagged until they reach a failure threshold. Given the mileage, checking the rubber seals for cracking and inspecting the integrity of the tyre sidewalls is prudent to ensure the lower annual usage has not led to material degradation over time.
