2013 Great Wall Steed SE TD 4X4 2.0L Diesel · CX13 ACF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the available testing history. The most recent test on 08 February 2024 at 70,419 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This followed a failure just three days prior at 70,417 miles, though the record indicates no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a minor issue such as a blown bulb or a sensor fault that was rectified immediately before the re-test. Since 2021, the vehicle has maintained a clean mechanical and structural record. The mileage pattern is consistent and low for a thirteen-year-old 4x4, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. Between February 2021 and February 2024, the vehicle covered 6,752 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of neglect or sudden high-mile bursts. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long-term low-use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or internal corrosion in brake systems. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus on a physical inspection of the chassis and structural integrity for surface rust, which is common on vehicles of this age despite low mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perished, as age-related rubber fatigue often occurs independently of the miles driven. Check the brake calipers for binding or pitting and ensure the handbrake has not seized due to periods of inactivity between the annual tests.
