Ssangyong Korando Ultimate Auto (2020)
2020 Ssangyong Korando Ultimate Auto
CarHunch analysed 232 real MOT records for the 2020 Ssangyong Korando Ultimate Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 SsangYong Korando Ultimate Auto is a reliably built car, with an 89.6% first-time pass rate that sits comfortably 9.6 percentage points above the UK average—though the 18.1% that have suffered dangerous defects is worth noting as a buyer concern. Petrol examples perform essentially in line with the cohort at 89.4%, so fuel type isn't a differentiator here.
At 27,105 miles average for a four-year-old model, these Korandos are running at sensible mileage levels, and the 0.41 failures per vehicle suggests most issues are manageable rather than structural. With 3.0 advisories per vehicle on average, budget for routine maintenance but don't expect major surprises—request full service history and have any advisory items addressed before purchase.
What to check before buying a 2020 Ssangyong Korando Ultimate Auto
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 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.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
