2011 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · FN11 MFO

The Hyundai Santa Fe presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 November 2025 at 82,821 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the prior three years. Recorded mileage sits at 82,821 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 5,521 miles per year. The DVSA entries show steady annual use: 54,176 miles in November 2022, 61,127 in November 2023, 71,408 in November 2024, and 82,821 in November 2025. The sole anomaly is a failed test on 21 November 2023 at 61,117 miles, reversed the next day with a pass at 61,127 miles and no defects logged either time, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault. The history is sparse and clean, with no advisories on tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the vehicle's fifteen years. Low annual mileage often means prolonged standing, which accelerates perishable component degradation such as brake caliper binding, tyre sidewall cracking, and moisture-driven corrosion unseen by the MOT laser. The absence of recurring faults indicates previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the 2023 same-week fail-pass warrants a check of the original refusal reason on the DVSA portal. Verify service history matches the low mileage and confirm no outstanding manufacturer recalls on the chassis.
