Our Verdict
This 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe demonstrates
When inspecting this Santa Fe, verify that the recent brake disc replacement and the 2025 advisory for thinning rear brake pads have been fully addressed with quality parts. Given the 2,199cc diesel engine, check the service history for regular oil changes and evidence of clutch and DPF health, particularly if the vehicle has engaged in frequent short journeys. Negotiate on the price if any major scheduled services are currently due or if suspension components show signs of wear consistent with the mileage.
Equipped with a 2,199cc diesel engine, running costs will reflect a typical large family SUV of this era, factoring in fuel consumption for mixed driving conditions. Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) and insurance group placements will align with a heavier diesel vehicle from 2015. Routine maintenance should account for regular consumable replacements such as tyres, brake components, and periodic fluid changes.
Pay close attention to the braking system, specifically verifying the condition of both front discs and rear pads following the recent MOT advisories and failure. Inspect the suspension joints, bushes, and steering components for play, and check the bodywork and alloy wheels for any damage. Ensure all electrical features, climate control zones, and four-wheel-drive functions operate correctly during a test drive.
First registered in November 2015 and finished in black, this 2,199cc diesel Hyundai Santa Fe has covered 106,021 miles as of its May 2026 MOT test. The vehicle's recent test record shows a single failure in May 2026 due to a worn front brake disc, which was promptly rectified before passing the following day. Earlier tests from November 2025 noted thinning rear brake pads alongside passes in 2024 and 2023, indicating standard wear and tear for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
Aggregate reliability data for this specific model variant is not available, requiring reliance on the individual vehicle's MOT and service records.
