2017 Ssangyong Korando 2.2L Diesel · CU67 YDS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 64,606 miles passed, it revealed multiple advisories related to tyre wear and brake pipe corrosion. This follows a pattern seen in previous years where the vehicle failed due to avoidable wear and lighting faults, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they reach the point of legal failure. At 64,606 miles over nine years, the vehicle averages approximately 7,178 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. The data shows a significant burst of activity between January 2024 and October 2025, where the car covered over 20,000 miles in eighteen months. This rapid accumulation of mileage likely explains the accelerated degradation of consumables, evidenced by the January 2025 failure at 55,094 miles due to structural damage on a nearside front tyre with exposed cords. A buyer must scrutinise the braking system specifically, as the October 2025 test flagged both the offside front and offside rear brake pipes as corroded and covered in grease. This is a concern given the 2024 failure for significantly worn brake discs on the front axle, which indicates potential neglect of the calipers or fluid-related components. The recurring issue of tyres wearing low on the inside edges across the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests suggests a persistent alignment problem or worn suspension bushes that require a professional inspection to prevent further premature tyre failure.
