2015 Great Wall Steed 2.0L Diesel · CV65 LHP

The Great Wall Steed passed its most recent MOT on 23 December 2025 at 52,575 miles with no defects recorded, so the vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status. The maintenance trend is stable on paper, though the two immediate prior attempts in November 2025 failed with no defects logged, a pattern that points to administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical deterioration. Recorded mileage sits at 52,575 against an 11-year-old 2015 plate, an average of roughly 4,780 miles per year. The odometer moved only 3,031 miles between the March 2023 test at 46,025 and the February 2024 pass at 49,544, then crept up just 3,031 more to the December 2025 pass. Such low annual use suggests long standing periods, which commonly accelerate corrosion on chassis members and brake components even when test results stay clear. The November 2025 failures at identical 52,575 miles, preceded by a 52,571 failure on 7 November, carry no advisory or defect text. A buyer should physically verify the tester's view on structural integrity, brake discs, and suspension bushes, since a no-defect fail often means the vehicle was presented incorrectly or a minor consumable such as wiper blades or lamps was rectified between visits. Given the sparse but clean history, inspect underneath for rust on the frame and check the rear brake calipers for binding after standstill. Confirm tyre sidewall condition and tread, as low mileage with age still degrades rubber. The record implies a lightly used vehicle with adequate statutory upkeep, not a neglected one.
