2025 Hyundai Santa FE Calligraphy Phev Auto 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · LT53 ACY

There is currently no official DVSA MOT history available for this vehicle. This is standard and expected for a 2025 model, as new vehicles in the United Kingdom do not require their first Ministry of Transport test until the end of their third year of registration. Consequently, there is no recorded failure trend or history of advisories to evaluate, and the vehicle is presumed to be operating within its original manufacturer specifications. The recorded mileage is currently unknown, meaning a precise annual usage rate cannot be established. For a vehicle of this age, it is critical to verify the odometer against the service history to ensure it has not been subjected to excessive short-trip urban driving or extreme long-distance accumulation. A lack of mileage data prevents an assessment of wear and tear progression on consumable components, making a physical inspection of the service book and digital records essential to confirm the maintenance schedule has been adhered to. Given the absence of a defect history, the inspection should focus on the specific requirements of a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. Ensure the high-voltage battery health is verified via the onboard diagnostics and check that the charging port and cables are free from debris or damage. Pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, looking for uneven wear that could indicate alignment issues, and check for any sidewall perishing if the car has spent significant time stationary. The brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion, which is common in PHEVs due to regenerative braking reducing the frequency of traditional friction braking. Further attention should be paid to the 12V auxiliary battery, as these can degrade if the vehicle is not regularly charged or driven. Confirm that all calendar-based fluid services, such as brake fluid replacement, have been performed regardless of the mileage covered. During a test drive, listen for any unusual vibrations or clunks from the suspension bushes and ensure the transition between the electric motor and the internal combustion engine is seamless. Finally, verify that the manufacturer warranty remains intact by confirming all scheduled interim inspections have been stamped in the service record.
