2022 Ssangyong Korando Ventura E-Motion Electric · VGZ 3353

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-04 shows the vehicle failed with three key issues: a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), an offside rear inner tyre with exposed ply/cords, and rear seats folded down, preventing full seat belt inspection. A separate entry on the same date notes a pass with the same seat belt issue, suggesting the failure may have been resolved but the underlying problem with the rear seats remained. This inconsistency raises questions about the reliability of the inspection process. The failure highlights two critical risks: the TPMS malfunction could indicate electrical or sensor faults, while the tyre with exposed ply/cords poses an immediate safety hazard. The recurring seat belt inspection issue (also noted in the failed MOT) suggests a pattern of incomplete or inconsistent testing, which may mask other hidden defects. The trend from 2024-12-06 (clean MOT at 21,864 miles) to 2025-12-04 (failure at 33,443 miles) shows a deterioration in the vehicle’s condition over the past year. The mileage of 33,448 miles (roughly 8,362 miles per year) is typical for a four-year-old vehicle, but the failure of a critical safety component like the TPMS and a damaged tyre indicates potential wear or neglect. The vehicle’s mileage does not strongly suggest heavy use or prolonged inactivity, as it falls within the expected range for its age. However, the recent failure of the TPMS and tyre damage could signal underlying issues with electrical systems or maintenance practices. The repeated seat belt inspection problem also warrants scrutiny, as it may indicate a design or structural flaw in the rear seating area.
