About This Data
The 2015 Ssangyong Korando has an MOT pass rate of 69.4% based on 9,187 tests — slightly above the UK average for UK vehicles. Cars of this vintage present for MOT with an average of 52,274 miles on the odometer. With a 30.6% failure rate, the 2015 Korando is rated as "Good" for MOT reliability.
If you own or are considering buying a 2015 Ssangyong Korando, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to brakes: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm). At 52,274 average miles, these vehicles are in the mid-range where component wear starts to become a factor.
Brakes — 9.0% of failures
Brakes issues account for 9.0% of MOT failures on 2015 Ssangyong Korando models. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment — 5.8% of failures
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment issues account for 5.8% of MOT failures on 2015 Ssangyong Korando models. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
Tyres — 5.7% of failures
Tyres issues account for 5.7% of MOT failures on 2015 Ssangyong Korando models. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures. Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.
