2011 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · GF61 EYL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a clean MOT record over the last three years. The most recent test in July 2025 at 152,818 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets minimum safety standards. Following a single failure in July 2022, the car has achieved three consecutive passes without advisories, suggesting that previous issues were addressed and subsequent mechanical upkeep has remained consistent. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation, with roughly 14,000 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 12,000 miles between August 2024 and July 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has been subjected to routine operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the integrity of seals, hoses, and drivetrain components. While the clean MOT history is encouraging, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of high-wear areas common to an SUV of this age and mileage. The tester should scrutinise the structural integrity for corrosion, particularly on the rear subframe and sills, where rust often accumulates over fifteen years. Given the 152,000-mile mark, close inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary to identify signs of fatigue or leaking. The braking system should also be checked for binding calipers or thin discs to ensure the lack of MOT advisories reflects the actual mechanical condition.
