2011 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · MA11 FDP

This 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe shows a mileage of 105,688, which is consistent with its age and suggests a steady, average usage pattern rather than extreme high-mileage motorway work or prolonged periods of inactivity. The MOT history indicates a vehicle that is beginning to show signs of age-related wear in its suspension and rubber components. While the car passed its most recent inspection in April 2026, the presence of advisory notices for tyre perishing and suspension play suggests that maintenance is becoming a recurring necessity. The failure in 2024 is the primary area of concern, as it highlighted a fractured coil spring and a deteriorated CV boot. Although these were rectified, the fact that suspension ball joint play has been flagged repeatedly since 2024 indicates that the front-end components are under stress and may require further attention soon. The trend is currently stable, but the recurring nature of these minor safety advisories suggests you should budget for ongoing suspension and tyre maintenance. Because this is a heavier vehicle, the suspension and drivetrain components are subject to more strain than in smaller cars. The recurring tyre issues suggest that the vehicle may have been parked for periods or stored in conditions that encourage rubber degradation, or it may simply be due to the age of the tyres currently fitted. When inspecting the vehicle in person, you should prioritise checking the front suspension for any knocking sounds during a test drive, as the ball joints have been a recurring advisory. Inspect the inner CV boots for any signs of fresh grease or splitting, and carefully examine the sidewalls of all four tyres for cracking, as this has been a persistent note in the history.
