2012 Ssangyong Korando 2.0L Diesel · RX12 ABO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-08 at 71,231 miles resulted in a failure, though no defects were recorded. This follows a pattern of inconsistent outcomes, including a 2024-06-26 pass at 69,555 miles and a 2024-03-20 failure at 69,519 miles, with prior failures in 2023-03-10 at 62,920 miles. The lack of recorded defects despite repeated failures suggests either procedural anomalies or unaddressed minor issues that may persist. The maintenance trend shows no clear resolution, with the vehicle failing twice in 2024 and again in 2025, indicating potential unresolved mechanical or regulatory compliance concerns. The recorded mileage of 71,231 miles over 14 years equates to approximately 5,088 miles annually, significantly lower than average usage. This suggests the vehicle may have been stored for extended periods or driven sparingly, which can lead to component degradation from inactivity. Notably, the gap between the 2023-03-10 pass and the subsequent 2024-03-20 failure spans 12 months with minimal mileage progression, raising questions about the vehicle’s operational history. The sparse defect data limits insight into specific mechanical wear, but the low mileage combined with frequent MOT attempts implies inconsistent maintenance practices. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, as prolonged inactivity can cause bushings to dry out or coil springs to weaken. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny due to potential corrosion or binding from infrequent use. The exhaust system and structural integrity should also be checked, as low mileage does not preclude rust or fatigue cracks. While no defects were recorded, the repeated MOT failures without explanation necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to identify hidden issues not captured in the MOT history.
