2022 Ssangyong Korando Ventura 1.5L Petrol · KY72 AFJ

The September 2025 MOT at 33,286 miles recorded a failure, meaning the Korando Ventura is presently not roadworthy; the shift from an earlier pass to this failure signals a worsening maintenance trend rather than stability. The mileage record is sparse but consistent: the car has accumulated 33,286 miles over four years since its 2022 manufacture, averaging 8,322 miles per year, a figure typical for its age and showing no evidence of long standing periods or abrupt mileage spikes. A buyer should therefore examine the tyre condition closely, as repeated 5.2.3 (d) (ii) notes on both near‑side and off‑side rear tyres indicate perishing rubber and a nail puncture, suggesting possible alignment or inflation issues; the failed wiper test (3.4 (b) (ii)) points to a malfunctioning wiper blade or linkage that must be verified, while the absence of any recorded corrosion or structural advisories does not guarantee the absence of hidden rust on the chassis or suspension bushes. Inspection of the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, the condition of the brake discs and calipers for binding or wear, and a thorough check for structural rust around the wheel arches and underbody will reveal whether the recurring faults reflect deeper mechanical neglect or merely consumable wear.
