2003 Hyundai Santa Fe TD - Proper Workhorse
This 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe TD isn't just a car - it's a proper workhorse. Like a donkey, it'll pull whatever you hook behind it. We used it to tow a caravan (yellow extra reg plate available if needed), and honestly, you could barely tell it was there - that's how strong the engine is.
Fitted with a 2.0L diesel engine (115 BHP), it's still going strong with no mechanical issues. It has a 5-speed manual gearbox and runs comfortably, with decent fuel economy for its age: 30.1 mpg in the city, up to 42.8 mpg extra urban. Plenty of torque at 2000 rpm - perfect for towing or just cruising along.
Extras that make this Santa Fe even handier:
7" HD detachable Android head unit - full touchscreen, Bluetooth, and GPS-ready
Reversing camera for safer parking
Brand new headlights - recently fitted, just a few months old
MOT until 20/06/2026 (just passed yesterday)
Mileage: 88,188 miles
Road tax valid until 01/02/2026
Includes both sets of keys
I honestly wasn't planning to sell it - it's grown on me over the years. It's dependable, rugged, and easy to drive. But we've just bought another car, and having three in one household is too much. That's the only reason it's up for sale.
There's nothing wrong with it - it's just time to let it go to someone who'll get good use out of it.
If you want a no-nonsense, reliable 4x4 with proper pulling power - this is it.
