2023 Hyundai Santa FE Premium HEV Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · GP23 DCV

A consistent record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT passed on 28 May 2026 showing no recorded defects. This absence of failures or advisories across the testing history suggests a stable mechanical profile regarding the components subject to standard MOT inspection, such as lighting, braking systems, and steering geometry. The recorded mileage of 23,584 miles over approximately three years indicates an average annual usage of roughly 7,861 miles. This level of accumulation is consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage patterns for a modern hybrid vehicle. Mechanically, this relatively low mileage suggests that consumable components such as brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes should not yet be approaching the end of their primary service life, though it does not preclude the need for regular inspection of rubber components and fluids. Given the lack of recorded defects or advisories in the DVSA history, there are no specific mechanical faults to target for investigation. However, during a test drive, attention should be directed toward the hybrid drivetrain's transition between electric and petrol power to ensure seamless operation. It is also prudent to check for any unusual noises from the suspension when navigating uneven surfaces or speed bumps, as this will confirm the integrity of the dampers and bushings which, while passing inspection, are subject to wear regardless of mileage. Final verification should include a check for any minor fluid weeping around the engine or transmission casings and an assessment of the braking feel to ensure there is no pedal sponginess or vibration under deceleration. While the MOT record is clear, these physical checks remain necessary to complement the official documentation and ensure the vehicle meets the expected standard for its age and usage profile.
