2014 Great Wall Steed S TD 4X4 2.0L Heavy oil · HRZ 7641

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 22 June 2026 at 104,369 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates a period of stable maintenance following a history of significant volatility. While the vehicle has struggled with MOT failures in previous years, the transition to consecutive clean sheets in the last two annual tests suggests that the current owner is proactively addressing identified mechanical issues and keeping the vehicle compliant with legal standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in testing data between September 2019 (66,613 miles) and March 2022 (98,756 miles), during which the vehicle covered over 32,000 miles. This high-intensity usage during that specific interval interval coincides with a cluster of mechanical failures in early 2022, where the vehicle failed four consecutive tests within just two months. This pattern suggests a period of heavy use followed by potential neglect or a failure to maintain a regular testing schedule. A buyer should perform a close inspection of the suspension and drivetrain components, particularly the bushes and coil springs, which are common points of failure on high-mileage utility vehicles. The repeated failures in 2022 and 2023 indicate that the vehicle has experienced significant wear and tear that required rectification. Given the 4x4 nature of the Great Wall Steed, verifying the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting joints is essential, as the record does not explicitly rule out the presence of corrosion that often affects these models over a decade.
