2012 Ssangyong Korando 2.0L Diesel · AU62 AGO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-17 at 156,977 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, a prior failure on 2025-09-10 at 156,728 miles—also with no defects—suggests a potential administrative or procedural error, as no issues were identified in either test. The preceding four MOTs from 2022 to 2024 consistently passed with no defects, reinforcing that the car has met roadworthiness standards over the last four years. No recurring mechanical or structural issues are evident from the record, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits deeper analysis. The vehicle’s mileage of 156,977 miles over 14 years aligns with an average of 11,213 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. The 2024-09-16 test at 148,369 miles showed a 2,355-mile increase from the 2023-09-11 test, while the 2025-09-17 test recorded a 12,608-mile jump from 2024-09-16. This suggests consistent usage without prolonged inactivity, though the rapid accumulation between 2024 and 2025 may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. No gaps in the MOT history indicate regular compliance, but the absence of detailed defect data prevents assessment of minor wear trends. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common in older SUVs, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, which may not trigger MOT failures. The exhaust system’s integrity, particularly for leaks or corrosion, warrants scrutiny, as emissions compliance can degrade over time. Structural rust, especially in the underbody or chassis, should be evaluated, as it often develops in older vehicles with high mileage. While the MOT record shows no critical issues, these components require physical inspection to confirm their condition.
