Great Wall Steed S Td 4x4 (2013)
2013 Great Wall Steed S Td 4x4
CarHunch analysed 226 real MOT records for the 2013 Great Wall Steed S Td 4x4. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2013 Great Wall Steed S TD 4×4 is markedly less reliable than the UK average, with a first-time MOT pass rate of 68.8% versus the national 80%, and a concerning 38.9% of vehicles in this cohort have recorded dangerous defects at some point. That combination makes it a higher-risk purchase unless you're comfortable with above-average repair costs and willing to inspect any example very carefully before buying.
At 63,384 miles average for an 11-year-old vehicle, mileage is reasonable, but these trucks are racking up nearly three failures per test on average and almost 18 advisories—suggesting systemic wear issues typical of budget 4×4s that see heavy use. Before committing to one, budget for suspension, brake, and exhaust work, and insist on a full pre-purchase inspection by someone familiar with Chinese trucks, not just a standard MOT check.
What to check before buying a 2013 Great Wall Steed S Td 4x4

- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 38.9% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
