2016 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · RV16 ACU

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 May 2025 at 43,958 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to June 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,396 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and predictable, increasing from 20,505 miles in June 2021 to 43,958 miles by May 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps that would suggest clocking or prolonged periods of abandonment. While the lack of MOT advisories is positive, the low annual usage increases the risk of degradation from standing. A buyer should specifically check for perishing rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can crack regardless of mileage. Brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from binding calipers or rusted discs due to infrequent heavy braking. Given the age of the vehicle and the absence of reported structural issues, a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion is advised. The record shows no history of structural failure, but the low mileage suggests the car may have spent significant time stationary, making it prudent to verify that the battery and fluids have been maintained beyond the basic requirements of the annual test.
