2015 Hyundai Santa FE Premium SE Crdi 2.2L Diesel · RV15 AEE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-09-30 at 128,987 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. However, the preceding three MOTs in 2024—on 2024-08-17, 2024-08-10, and 2024-06-30—each resulted in failure despite no defects being listed. This pattern suggests unresolved issues that were likely addressed prior to the 2025 test, as the car passed without further complications. The maintenance trend shows a shift from repeated failures to a single pass, indicating potential resolution of prior problems, though the lack of defect details limits definitive assessment. The vehicle’s mileage of 128,987 miles over 11 years aligns with an average of 11,726 miles per year, typical for its age. However, a significant jump from 111,560 miles in August 2024 to 128,987 miles in September 2025—over 17,400 miles in 13 months—suggests accelerated usage. This rapid accumulation may have exacerbated wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though no specific issues were flagged in the 2025 test. The sparse defect data in earlier failures complicates analysis, but the consistent mileage pattern implies regular operation rather than prolonged inactivity. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as repeated MOT failures may correlate with unresolved alignment or damping issues. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny due to the high mileage and potential for uneven wear. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly if the car was exposed to corrosive environments, given the lack of corrosion-related defects in the records. The absence of detailed failure notes underscores the need for a professional mechanical check to confirm the vehicle’s current condition.
