Known faults for SsangYong (KGM) SsangYong Korando Sports
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Good
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: SSANGYONG KORANDO SPORTS
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Rear Coil Spring Sagging and Fatigue Under Heavy Payload(Moderate)
While the multi-link coil-spring rear suspension provided superior unladen ride comfort compared to traditional leaf-sprung pickups, it suffered from accelerated spring fatigue when subjected to continuous commercial payloads or heavy trailer towing. The rear coils compress permanently, causing noticeable tail sag, reduced suspension travel, bottoming out over bumps, and occasional fracture of the bottom coils, resulting in an immediate MOT failure.
- EGR Valve Carbon Clogging and DPF Pressure Sensor Glitches(Moderate)
The 2.0-litre e-XDi active diesel engine is fitted with an electronically actuated EGR valve and closed-coupled DPF. When used for short farm trips, site commuting, or stop-start driving without regular high-speed runs, carbon deposits rapidly clog the EGR valve stem and differential pressure sensor ports. This leads to sticking pintles, black exhaust smoke under acceleration, limp-mode activation, and MOT emission failures.
- 4WD Shift-on-the-Fly Transfer Case Actuator Sticking(Moderate)
The selectable 4WD system uses an electric rotary switch on the dashboard to trigger a BorgWarner shift motor mounted low on the transfer case. Operating in dusty construction sites, wet farm mud, and winter road salt causes water ingress past the actuator seal. If the 4WD system is rarely exercised, the internal reduction gears corrode and seize, leaving the truck locked in two-wheel drive or flashing 4WD warning lights.
