Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Premium HEV Auto?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Premium HEV Auto?

This 2022 Santa Fe hybrid is significantly more reliable than the UK average, with a 92.3% first-time pass rate compared to 80% nationally—a genuinely strong result that suggests Hyundai's build quality is holding up well. The dangerous defect rate sits at just 0.8%, which is reassuringly low and shouldn't concern prospective buyers.

At around 27,400 miles median, these cars have covered modest distances for their age, and the minimal failure rate of 0.1 per vehicle reflects that careful early ownership. With only 0.5 advisories per car on average, these are low-maintenance vehicles, but run a pre-purchase inspection on any used example anyway to confirm service history and hybrid battery condition.
