2016 Ssangyong Korando 2.2L Diesel · LS06 AGS

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, following a clean pass in its most recent inspection on September 9, 2025, at 74,585 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has operated without recorded defects for the past year. While the history shows failures in 2023 and 2024, the owner successfully rectified the identified issues to achieve subsequent passes within days of those failures. The lack of advisories in the latest two tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components inspected during the MOT were not showing immediate signs of significant wear or failure at the time of the last test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-moderate vehicle, averaging approximately 7,450 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered 6,551 miles, while it added 7,016 miles in the following year leading up to the 2025 test. This steady, moderate usage reduces the overall strain on the drivetrain and suspension compared to high-mileage examples. However, the long intervals between tests can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and sidewalls, which perish over time regardless of the distance driven. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for structural corrosion, as the MOT only checks for rust that has compromised structural integrity. Since the most recent records show no advisories, it is vital to manually check for signs of binding brake calipers or leaking shock absorbers that may not yet triggered a failure. Given the age of the vehicle, verify the condition of the fluids and the state of rubber hoses to ensure the lower mileage has not resulted in avoidable degradation during periods of light use.
