2015 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · DX65 KKF

The 2026‑06‑04 MOT at 164,036 miles confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, but the recurring rear brake pipe corrosion, front suspension wear and progressive brake disc pitting indicate a deteriorating maintenance pattern rather than improvement. The mileage has risen steadily from 49,664 miles in June 2018 to 164,036 miles in June 2026, averaging roughly 14,900 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 11‑year age and suggests consistent use without long idle periods; each annual test from 2018 through 2026 shows no significant gaps in service. A buyer should therefore focus on the rear subframe mounting area for corrosion, examine the rear brake pipe for grease or material buildup, and assess the condition of the rear and front brake discs for pitting or scoring beyond the MOT‑recorded wear limits, while also inspecting the suspension arm bush and pin and checking tyre tread depth, given the repeated warnings of being close to the legal limit.
