2020 Ssangyong Korando Ultimate Auto 1.5L Petrol · RK20 AFA

A consistent pattern of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's recent roadworthiness, with the most recent test on 10 July 2026 showing no defects recorded. While the history is largely free of failures, a single instance of tyre degradation was noted in the July 2025 inspection, though this appears to have been addressed given the clean pass in the subsequent 2026 test. The overall trend suggests a vehicle that has met the minimum regulatory standards for structural and mechanical safety without the presence of recurring issues such as exhaust emissions failures, brake system defects, or suspension component wear. The recorded mileage of 48,588 miles over approximately six years indicates a usage profile of roughly 8,098 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK average annual driving distances. This level of accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subject to excessive long-distance motorway use, nor has it been left stationary for extended periods, which can often lead to more frequent advisory items regarding perished rubber components or seized braking elements. Mechanically, this mileage level means that while major drivetrain components are unlikely to have reached their end-of-life, consumables such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes will be entering a phase of more regular replacement. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the condition of the tyres, following the advisories for cracking and perishing on both the nearside and offside front tyres in 2025. Although the 2026 test was clear, it is prudent to inspect the sidewalls and tread depth of all four tyres for any signs of age-related cracking or uneven wear patterns. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or increased road noise that could indicate tyre deformation, and check for any pulling to one side which might suggest incorrect alignment or uneven wear resulting from the previously noted tyre condition. Given the absence of recorded defects in the suspension, steering, or braking systems, the inspection should focus on verifying the integrity of these components through tactile feedback. Pay close attention to the steering feel for any looseness or vibration through the wheel, and listen for any knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces, which would indicate wear in the suspension bushes or coil springs. Additionally, monitor the brake pedal for any sponginess or pulsation under deceleration to ensure the hydraulic system and discs remain within the expected operational parameters.
