2018 Ssangyong Korando 2.0L Petrol · BE08 AND

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 25 September 2025 at 86,967 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a consistent pattern of immediate rectification following a MOT failure. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed just days before the scheduled test date, suggesting that the owner likely ignores developing defects until a formal failure occurs, rather than performing preventative maintenance on minor mechanical or structural issues. The mileage progression is consistent with typical annual usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Between September 2023 at 65,631 miles and September 2024 at 76,843 miles, the car covered 11,212 miles, followed by another 10,124 miles in the year leading to the latest test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which is generally beneficial for brake components and seals compared to the issues associated with long periods of standing stationary. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that likely caused the recent failures, as the record does not specify the exact defects that were rectified. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these are common points of wear on this model. The buyer should also inspect the brake calipers for binding and examine the underbody for structural corrosion or thinning metal to ensure that the recent failures were not related to escalating rust on the chassis.
