2011 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · YA11 DAA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on 22 December 2025 at 85,739 miles where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend has improved significantly following a single failure in February 2023. The car has since undergone three consecutive inspections without advisories, suggesting that the current owner has addressed any latent issues and maintained a high standard of presentation. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. Data shows a consistent usage pattern, such as the 2,460 miles driven between January 2025 and December 2025, and another 2,410 miles between February 2024 and January 2025. This low-frequency use typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it occasionally leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts or fluid-related issues during long periods of inactivity. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for specific issues common to low-mileage, high-age SUVs. Focus on the structural integrity of the chassis, specifically checking for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches which can develop over fifteen years regardless of miles driven. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perish, as these components age through time rather than just mileage. Additionally, check the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as low use often leads to surface rust when stationary for long periods.
