2015 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · ET15 FSX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 18 June 2025 at 93,752 miles initially failed due to a deep cut in the offside rear tyre reaching the cords, but the vehicle passed immediately upon rectification with no further defects recorded. This suggests that while the owner addresses safety-critical failures, they tend to wait until components reach the point of failure before performing maintenance. The mileage progression is consistent with an eleven-year-old Hyundai Santa Fe, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the car covered 12,160 miles, which represents a slight spike above the annual average, followed by 11,873 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This steady usage suggests the vehicle does not suffer from long periods of stagnation which is beneficial for rubber components and fluid-based on mechanical systems. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension and alignment geometry due to recurring uneven tyre wear noted in June 2023. The tester flagged multiple tyres worn smooth on the inner edges or at the legal limit, which often indicates worn suspension bushes, faulty control arms, or incorrect tracking settings. Furthermore, the June 2023 failure revealed front brake pads worn to the indicators and heavily lipped discs. While these were likely replaced, a physical inspection of the current pad thickness and caliper condition is necessary to ensure the braking system is not experiencing premature wear.
