2013 Ssangyong Korando 2.0L Diesel · VX13 ABF

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all recent MOT tests from 2023 to 2026 recording no defects. The most recent 2026-01-20 inspection at 61,515 miles confirmed compliance, aligning with the prior year’s 2025-01-30 test at 57,281 miles and the 2024-01-30 check at 53,657 miles. Despite a 2023-01-25 failure at 49,132 miles, no defects were recorded, suggesting a potential administrative error or technical anomaly. The absence of recurring issues across four consecutive annual tests indicates consistent maintenance, though the 2023 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm its validity. The mileage progression reflects a low annual average of approximately 4,732 miles, consistent with light usage over 13 years. Tests spaced exactly one year apart from 2023 to 2026 show gradual, predictable mileage increases, with no evidence of sudden spikes or extended periods of inactivity. The 2023-01-25 test coinciding with the same mileage as the subsequent 2023-01-25 failure raises questions about data accuracy, but the subsequent tests from 2024 onward show no irregularities. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven sparingly, though prolonged storage could still affect components like batteries or rubber seals. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushes, which may degrade without regular use. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for corrosion or uneven wear, as low mileage can sometimes mask hidden issues. Structural integrity remains unconfirmed by the record, so a visual check for rust or panel damage is advisable. The MOT history provides no indication of major faults, but the vehicle’s age and mileage profile necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical soundness.
