2018 Ssangyong Korando 2.2L Diesel · CU18 VLF

The latest MOT dated 7 April 2026 records a failure, primarily for the nearside and off‑side rear stop lamps being inoperative, while the vehicle otherwise passed the mechanical checks. Minor tyre wear on the off‑side rear wheel and a shallow cut were also noted, and the registration‑plate lamp was missing. The failure indicates a slight deterioration in lighting compliance, but no serious structural or drivetrain defects are evident. Across the eight‑year lifespan the recorded mileage rises from 10,692 mi in March 2023 to 51,384 mi in April 2026, averaging roughly 6,400 mi per year. The progression is steady, with roughly a 10‑kilo‑mile increment each year and no large unexplained gaps. This mileage is typical for a vehicle of this age, suggesting normal wear rather than excessive or abusive use. A prospective buyer should verify that both rear stop lamps function correctly and that the registration‑plate lamp is fitted. Inspect the off‑side rear tyre for tread depth, sidewall integrity, and any progression of the existing cut; the same scrutiny should extend to the remaining tyres. A visual check of the lamp housings for corrosion or damaged wiring is advisable. Although no suspension or brake faults appear in the record, a standard examination of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear will confirm that the vehicle’s mechanical condition matches the MOT history.
