You are importing the car to:

Import penalty (malus) in France

  • The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
  • For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
  • The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Check an imported car's history

HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Known faults

Recent model: not enough hindsight yet (years, mileage) for faults to be publicly documented, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.

Manufacturer recalls

See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Hyundai Santa Fe”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

Recalls published in France (RappelConso)

  • 18 October 2024 — Le faisceau de câblage monté sous la banquette peut être endommagé en étant pincé par la charnière du siège lorsqu'il est rabattu. Cela peut conduire l'airbag rideau à ne pas fonctionner, ce qui augmente le risque de blessures en cas d'accident. Official notice

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Contrôler la présence du pack de sécurité optionnel, qui fait passer la note Euro NCAP de 4 à 5 étoiles.
  • Vérifier le nombre de places : Autotijd indique 5 places, Wandaloo 7 selon la version.
  • Faire vérifier les rappels avec le numéro de série chez un concessionnaire Hyundai.
  • Essayer la boîte automatique à 6 rapports et le passage thermique-électrique en ville.

Questions to ask the seller

  • La voiture a-t-elle le pack de sécurité optionnel (aides à la conduite) ?
  • Combien de places compte-t-elle, 5 ou 7 ?
  • Quels entretiens et mises à jour ont été effectués chez le concessionnaire ?

Test-drive tip: read the fault codes

A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.

Before you buy: check and equip

Check the history

Read fault codes

An OBD scanner plugged in under the steering wheel shows stored fault codes, even with warning lights off: useful during the test drive.

Parts and maintenance

Compare prices of parts for the Hyundai Santa Fe V (timing, brakes, filters) to estimate the repairs to plan for.

Insure the car

Insurance prices vary widely from one model to another: get a quote before signing.
