2019 Ssangyong Korando 2.2L Diesel · RK69 AHF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to mechanical upkeep. The most recent test on 30 September 2025 at 52,493 miles shows a pass following a failure for multiple tyre defects and a registration plate lamp. While the immediate safety failures were rectified, the recurring nature of tyre-related advisories across several years suggests that the owner only addresses consumable items when they threaten an MOT certificate. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. The car covered roughly 8,500 miles between the October 2024 test at 44,006 miles and the September 2025 test at 52,493 miles. This indicates regular annual use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and brake seals. However, the interval between tests remains standard, suggesting that minor electrical faults and mechanical adjustments are being neglected between the annual inspections. A buyer must inspect the wheel alignment and suspension geometry, as the record consistently flags tyres worn on the edges. The failures in 2023, 2024, and 2025 all highlight uneven tyre wear, which typically points to incorrect tracking or worn suspension bushes. Additionally, the 2024 failure for excessive parking brake lever movement indicates that the braking system requires periodic adjustment or inspection to ensure the mechanical cables are not overstretched. The electrical system, specifically the rear plate lighting and indicators, should be checked for secure connections as these have been recurring issues in the history.
