2016 Great Wall Steed 2.0L Diesel · TRZ 8087

The DVSA test on 11 July 2022 passed the Great Wall Steed at 19,656 miles with no defects or advisories recorded, establishing a currently expired but historically clean roadworthiness status. Testers passed the vehicle again on 6 November 2020 at 19,223 miles and on 19 November 2019 at 1,097 miles, both with no faults. On 19 November 2019, the same examiners logged a failure at 1,097 miles with no defect entries, then issued a pass later that day, indicating an administrative anomaly rather than mechanical deficiency. The maintenance trend across the available record stays stable, with no recurring faults or worsening conditions. Age versus mileage shows a skewed usage profile for this 2016 pickup. The odometer read just 1,097 miles at the November 2019 test, then jumped to 19,223 miles by November 2020, an abrupt 18,126-mile accumulation in roughly twelve months. Only 433 miles were added before the July 2022 test. Such a curve implies the vehicle remained dormant for its early years, endured a single high-mileage phase, then reverted to minimal running. Sparse test entries and zero recorded advisories on tyres, wiper blades, or lamps suggest the keepers attended to basic consumables ahead of each examination, though the data lacks depth for firmer conclusions. With no structural corrosion, suspension wear, or brake defects flagged in the official history, the buyer faces no documented systemic red flags. The extended stationary periods inferred from the mileage pattern demand physical checks for perished suspension bushes, binding calipers, and rust bloom on brake discs or chassis members from long standing. The examiner should verify VIN alignment following the anomalous 2019 same-day fail and confirm exhaust emissions integrity given low recent use. A pre-purchase inspection must prioritise underbody condition and fluid degradation over concerns raised by the MOT record itself.
