2022 Ssangyong Musso 2.2L Diesel · KY72 AFK

The 2022 SSangYong Musso has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past year, with the most recent MOT test on 19 February 2026 confirming no defects at 17,280 miles. The vehicle has passed consecutively since September 2025, though the near-simultaneous failed and passed tests in early September 2025—just 15 miles apart—suggest either a minor administrative oversight or a last-minute correction. No recurring advisories or defects appear in the record, indicating the tester did not identify any persistent issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, or structural corrosion during these checks. The absence of advisories also implies no hidden concerns were flagged for further inspection, though this does not preclude undocumented wear. The recorded mileage of 17,280 miles over four years—approximately 4,320 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and class, particularly given typical usage patterns for SUVs in the UK. The gap between the September 2025 failure and pass (a single day) is unusual and may warrant questioning the vehicle’s storage history or whether it was driven extensively between tests. The lack of mileage progression between September 2025 (15,697 miles) and February 2026 (17,280 miles) suggests prolonged inactivity, which could accelerate wear on fluids, tyres, and suspension components if not properly maintained during storage. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear axle and bushings, as these are common failure points on this model. The low mileage raises concerns about potential fluid degradation—check brake fluid for moisture contamination, power steering fluid for aeration, and engine oil for sludge—especially if the vehicle was stored without regular use. Tyre condition should be scrutinised, as the absence of tread-related failures in the MOT does not guarantee they haven’t been underinflated or improperly rotated during periods of inactivity. Finally, inspect the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and exhaust mounts, as prolonged standing can accelerate rust development in susceptible areas. The lack of advisories in the MOT does not rule out these risks, so visual confirmation is essential.
