2011 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · MV11 UMS

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 110,854 miles passed, it left new advisories regarding a loose front bumper and an inoperative registration lamp. This follows a significant decline in November 2024, where the vehicle failed on multiple critical safety-related items. The overall trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they result in an official test failure. The recorded mileage of 110,854 miles over 15 years reflects an annual average of approximately 7,400 miles, which is consistent with typical usage for an SUV of this age. The data shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between the November 2023 and November 2024 tests, and another 7,300 miles leading to the November 2025 test. This relatively low annual mileage has not prevented accelerated wear on rubber components and suspension elements, as evidenced by the recurring failures. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The history shows that in 2023, both front CV boots were severely deteriorated and a track rod end was failing. By 2024, the offside front shock absorber had failed and the front brake discs were significantly worn. The presence of two tyres with structural separation lumps in 2024 also indicates potential alignment issues or impact damage that went ignored. The buyer should verify that the CV boots have been replaced and that the shock absorbers are free of oil leaks, as these components have a history of failure on this specific vehicle.
