2022 Ssangyong Korando Ventura Auto 1.5L Petrol · EX72 YJC

This SSANGYONG Korando Ventura has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the available MOT history, passing its most recent test on September 3, 2025 , with no defects recorded at 17,792 miles . The absence of advisories or failings in the sole test suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues that would warrant immediate concern. However, the 13-month gap since the last MOT —nearly a third of the standard 12-month validity—means critical components like brakes, suspension, and emissions systems have not been formally inspected for over a year. This delay alone introduces uncertainty, as wear on items such as brake pads, suspension bushes, or exhaust catalysts could have progressed undetected. The recorded mileage of 17,792 miles over approximately four years —roughly 4,448 miles annually —is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and category. Such low mileage typically indicates either minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, both of which can exacerbate wear on fluids, seals, and rubber components. The lack of intermediate MOT tests or service records further complicates assessment, as critical maintenance—such as fluid changes, timing belt inspections, or corrosion checks—may have been neglected. Without evidence of regular servicing, buyers should assume consumables like brake pads, wiper blades, and cabin filters may require replacement. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension integrity , particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs , as these are common failure points in this model. The rear brake system warrants close scrutiny, as binding calipers or uneven wear could develop without recent testing. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should be examined, as prolonged low mileage can accelerate rust due to moisture retention. Additionally, the exhaust emissions system —though not flagged in the MOT—may require verification, as catalytic converters can degrade silently over time. The tyre tread depth and overall condition should be verified, as the absence of MOT defects does not guarantee they meet current legal limits. Finally, a fluid top-up check (brake, power steering, coolant) is essential, as low mileage often correlates with neglected servicing.
