2003 Hyundai Santa FE 2.0L Diesel · FJ53 NFL

The 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 19 April 2023 at 117,859 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from 6 April 2022 at 113,306 miles. The maintenance record shows no advisories or failures across both examined years. The odometer sat at 113,306 miles in April 2022 and rose to 117,859 miles by April 2023. That is 4,553 miles in roughly twelve months, equating to about 5,124 miles per year across the vehicle's 23-year life. The low annual average suggests light use or extended standing periods. The two available tests are one year apart with no earlier entries supplied, so the history is sparse but clean. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, as the MOT record does not confirm absence of rust on sills, subframes, or suspension mounts. The Santa Fe's age makes deterioration of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs plausible even without tester flags. Verify the brake calipers for binding after prolonged storage and check exhaust emissions against expected wear. The clean advisories imply previous owners addressed basic upkeep, but low mileage with age can hide perished rubber components and fluid degradation not captured in a pass result.
