2012 Ssangyong Korando Limited Edition 2.0L Diesel · MX12 DHO

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a clean pass on 4 April 2026 at 107,006 miles. This most recent result indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the tester recorded no defects, effectively resolving several long-standing issues. Previous tests in 2024 and 2025 showed a pattern of recurring failures related to lighting, brake pedal wear, and brake pipe corrosion. The absence of these faults in the latest inspection suggests that the necessary remedial work has been carried out to bring the vehicle back to a compliant standard. The recorded mileage of 107,006 miles for a 2012 model represents an average annual usage of approximately 7,643 miles. This consistent mileage accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. Between the March 2024 test at 95,305 miles and the March 2025 test at 105,180 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 10,000 miles, which aligns with the established pattern of moderate, steady driving. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and chassis integrity. The MOT history reveals a persistent issue with brake pipe corrosion from 2024 through 2025, specifically affecting both offside and nearside lines from the front to the rear. While the 2026 pass implies these pipes have been addressed, the underlying tendency for corrosion in this vehicle should be verified by checking for any signs of weeping or surface rust on the lines and connections. The tester also flagged a smooth brake pedal in multiple years, which may indicate significant wear to the pedal pad or potentially underlying hydraulic issues. The suspension and bodywork also warrant attention. The March 2024 failure noted an excessively worn nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint, and the 2025 record mentioned a passenger door that could not be opened from the outside. Although these specific mechanical and trim faults were not mentioned in the most recent test, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and door latch mechanisms is advisable to ensure all previous repairs were comprehensive and that no new wear has developed.
