2013 Ssangyong Korando 2.0L Diesel · RK63 VOF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on January 10, 2026, at 113,215 miles. The maintenance trend appears reactive rather than proactive, as evidenced by the failure recorded just one day prior to passing. While the history shows a pattern of failures followed by passes, the lack of recorded defects in the most recent test suggests that any previous mechanical or safety issues were addressed immediately to bring the vehicle back into compliance with minimum standards. At a recorded mileage of 113,215 miles over 13 years, the vehicle averages approximately 8,700 miles per annum. This aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a significant gap in testing between February 2023 and September 2024, where the vehicle covered only 224 miles in over 19 months. Such periods of low use often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, brake caliper seizing, and fluid contamination, which may explain the failures seen during those testing intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components, as the provided record does not detail the specific reasons for the failures in 2023, 2024, and early 2026. Focus on structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, which are common failure areas for this model. Given the history of failures followed by immediate passes, check for excessive play in the suspension bushes and the condition of the brake discs to ensure that the recent pass was not merely a temporary fix for recurring mechanical wear.
