2020 Ssangyong Musso 2.2L Diesel · GO69 ALT

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend regarding consumable components. While it has passed every MOT test since 2023, the January 2026 test at 91,547 miles shows a progression of issues that were not present in the previous year. The most recent inspection flagged both front outer tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on edges, alongside low front inner brake pads. This indicates that the vehicle is currently due for immediate attention to its braking system and tyre set. The mileage accumulation is high for a 2020 vehicle, averaging approximately 15,258 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the vehicle covered 18,536 miles, and it has since maintained a consistent, heavy usage pattern, covering another 15,515 miles in the following year. This high annual mileage explains the frequent advisories regarding wear and tear. The data shows a steady increase in mechanical demand, with the gap between tests remaining consistent at roughly 12 months. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of neglected consumable maintenance. In January 2024 at 56,584 miles, the tester flagged multiple issues including rear tyres worn to the limit, front brake pads wearing thin, and damaged or perishing front tyres. The January 2025 test at 72,069 miles continued this trend with an advisory for thin rear brake pads. The repetition of brake and tyre advisories suggests the previous owners have been reactive rather than proactive with servicing, often waiting until components are near the legal limit before addressing them. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking the thickness of the pads and the condition of the discs for scoring or uneven wear. Given the repeated tyre advisories, the suspension components and wheel alignment should be checked to ensure the uneven edge wear is not caused by worn bushes or incorrect geometry. The high mileage also necessitates a close look at the drivetrain and suspension for signs of premature fatigue.
