2012 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · TV04 DOG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improving maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted on 15 December 2025 at 89,391 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that any previous mechanical issues have been successfully rectified. While the history shows failures in late 2023 and late 2024, the subsequent passes without advisories suggest the owner is proactive in addressing immediate faults identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle for its age, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. The data shows a notable burst of activity between December 2023 and December 2024, where the car covered 3,145 miles in a single year. Following this, the vehicle recorded 1,751 miles in the final year leading up to the latest test. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to dry seals or corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in December 2023 and December 2024, although the provided record does not specify the exact mechanical cause of those drops. Given the age of the Santa Fe, it is vital to check for structural integrity, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, which are common weak points for this model. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and the condition of the brake calipers, as low mileage does not always prevent the degradation of rubber components or the seizing of brake hardware over time.
