2014 Hyundai Santa FE 2.2L Diesel · YT64 CEX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. While the car passed its test in November 2025 at 123,636 miles, it followed a failure just one week prior at 123,300 miles. The presence of a failed offside front track rod end due to excessive play alongside thinning rear brake pads suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach legalion limits. The mileage profile is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per annum. There is a steady accumulation of mileage between November 2022 (100,568 miles) and November 2025 (123,636 miles), showing no signs of long-term neglect or sudden spikes in use. The clean records from 2022 through 2024 indicate a period of good maintenance, though the recent failure highlights the increasing wear expected on high-mileageion components. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the entire suspension and steering assembly, as the failed track rod end indicates that other ball joints or bushes may be nearing the end of their lifespan. The thinning rear brake pads noted in the two most recent tests necessitate a check of the rear discs and caliper condition for uneven wear or seized pistons. Given the age and mileage, physically inspecting the chassis for structural corrosion is also essential to ensure that the mechanical repairs are not masking deeper frame integrity issues.
