2016 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · DS66 DXV

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the latest MOT on 27 January 2026, where it passed with no recorded defects. Over the five‑year record the car has consistently met the legal standards, and the only noted issues were minor tyre and lighting advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a deteriorating one. At 103,537 miles the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe averages roughly 10,300 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Mileage rose from 65,914 miles in March 2022 to 73,315 miles a year later, then to 84,774 miles in March 2024 and 96,332 miles in February 2025, before reaching the current figure. The increments are moderate and show no sudden spikes that would suggest periods of heavy abuse or prolonged storage, and the MOT entries are regularly spaced, providing a clear picture of the vehicle’s usage. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the near‑side front outer tyre, which was flagged in February 2025 for a cut that approached the ply. Inspect the tyre for any progression of the defect and verify tread depth across all four tyres. The same test noted reduced headlamp intensity; confirm that both front lamps meet illumination standards and that the bulbs and reflectors are in good condition. With just over 100 000 miles, the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers merit a visual and functional check for any signs of wear, binding or corrosion that could affect ride quality. Examine brake discs and pads for uneven wear, as the MOT record does not reveal any brake‑related failures but mileage of this magnitude typically brings consumable wear. Finally, a thorough inspection of the chassis for rust, especially around the wheel arches and under‑carriage, will confirm that no hidden structural issues have developed despite the clean MOT history.
