2015 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · FX65 AON

The 2025‑09‑13 MOT at 108,548 miles passed, but the tester flagged play in the steering rack inner joint(s) and a worn, pitted front brake disc, confirming the vehicle is still roadworthy while indicating modest wear. All previous tests from September 2018 through September 2024 recorded no defects, so the maintenance record is largely stable, with the 2025 advisory representing the first notable issue in recent history. The mileage progression shows a steady increase: from 30,451 miles in September 2018 to 108,548 miles in September 2025, an average of roughly 9,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an 11‑year‑old Santa Fe. No large gaps appear in the log; the intervals between tests are about one year, and mileage jumps are consistent with normal driving rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the steering rack for excessive play, examine the front brake disc for scoring or cracking, verify the condition of the brake pads and calipers, and look for any signs of rear oil leakage or underbody rust, especially around the newly fitted underbody covers. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, and test the binding of the rear brake calipers, as these items can develop gradually. The vehicle’s history suggests reasonable care, but the identified faults warrant close verification before purchase.
