2010 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · SP07 PAD

The 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 May 2025 at 88,245 miles passed with no defects recorded, and this clean result follows four consecutive passes from June 2021 through June 2024 with zero advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring mechanical issues, or escalating wear across the available five-year record. Mileage sits low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 73,385 miles in June 2021, rising to 78,009 by June 2022, 81,712 by June 2023, 85,600 by June 2024, and 88,245 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 3,000 to 3,900 miles added each year, well below the national average. The clean MOT sheets across this period imply a cautious owner who kept basic upkeep current, though the sparse history offers no visibility of consumable replacements between tests. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection beneath the body. Low annual use and long stationary periods raise the risk of hidden corrosion on structural members, subframes, and suspension mounts that a visual MOT check may not capture. The tester logged no advisory on brake discs, coils, or bushes, yet at this age the rubber suspension bushes and handbrake mechanism warrant hands-on checks for perishing or stiffness. Given the absence of any flagged defects, the Santa Fe's documented history supports a sound purchase assumption. Verify service receipts for cambelt and fluid intervals, as the MOT alone confirms statutory roadworthiness rather than mechanical longevity.
