2017 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · X4 LKE

The August 4 2025 MOT at 34,881 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend, with each preceding annual test also delivering a clean result. The mileage of 34,881 at the latest test translates to an average annual increase of about 3,876 miles, a figure that is low for a nine‑year‑old vehicle and points to light usage or extended periods of inactivity. The yearly intervals between the 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 tests are evenly spaced, indicating no abrupt mileage spikes that would suggest intensive use or long standing periods. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension components, including the front and rear bushes, coil springs and dampers, for any signs of wear, cracking or binding, and verify that the brake discs and calipers show no excessive corrosion or uneven pad wear. Examination of the underbody, wheel arches and chassis rails for structural rust, especially around the suspension mounting points, is essential given the vehicle’s age. Finally, the condition of the tyres, wiper blades and exhaust system should be checked, as even low‑mileage vehicles can develop uneven tread wear, hardened rubber or minor leaks that affect roadworthiness; these items, while consumable, are straightforward to assess during a pre‑purchase inspection.
