2016 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · YR66 JMX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 4 October 2025 at 141,884 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any recorded defects or advisories. The absence of noted faults across multiple years suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a condition meeting minimum legal standards. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging over 14,000 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between September 2023 and September 2024, where the odometer rose from 107,903 to 126,909 miles. A further 14,975 miles were added by October 2025. This high-mileage profile indicates heavy use, likely consisting of long-distance motorway journeys, which typically places less stress on the engine than urban stop-start driving but accelerates wear on the chassis and suspension. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of components that do not always trigger an immediate MOT failure. A buyer should check for wear in the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade silently over 140,000 miles. Inspecting the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for potential binding is also advisable. The lack of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures in the record is positive. However, given the age and mileage, a manual check for underbody rust and a review of the service history for timing belt or drivetrain fluid changes is essential. The MOT record confirms legal compliance, but it does not replace a full mechanical service history for a high-mileage vehicle.
