2014 Ssangyong Korando 2.0L Diesel · WR14 WTF

The 2014 SsangYong Korando presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 May 2025 at 125,114 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The only anomaly is a failed entry on 26 May 2023 at 85,384 miles that carries no recorded defects, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at the same mileage, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 10,426 across the vehicle's twelve years, which is typical for the age. The records show a jump from 75,836 miles in May 2022 to 85,384 miles in May 2023, then a large leap to 115,047 miles by May 2024, equating to roughly 29,600 miles in that single year. Distance covered dropped back to 10,067 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. The DVSA data is sparse, with only five entries and no advisories or defects logged at any stage, so the history alone reveals little about component condition. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the Korando's age and the high-mileage year in 2023 to 2024. The clean MOT record does not rule out worn consumables or developing structural rust that testers did not flag. Verify the May 2023 fail reason with DVSA, as the zero-defect entry is irregular and warrants confirmation it was not a suppressed mechanical rejection.
