2009 Ssangyong Unknown 2.0L Diesel · NNZ 4041

The vehicle presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture, with the most recent test on 11 November 2021 returning a pass at 82,318 miles and no defects recorded. Prior to that, the only blemish was a failure on 10 October 2019 at 82,310 miles, which the DVSA record lists with no defects cited, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical refusal rather than a component fault. The trend across the available history shows no recurring advisories or escalating mechanical concerns. Mileage accumulation has been exceptionally low for a 2009 vehicle. From the 31 August 2017 test at 75,940 miles to the 24 September 2018 pass at 80,291 miles, the owner covered just 4,351 miles in thirteen months. Between September 2018 and November 2021 the odometer moved only 2,027 miles, averaging under 700 miles per year. Such low use over a long period implies the SsangYong spent extended spells stationary, a pattern that often masks perished rubber components and seized mechanisms not visible in a clean MOT sheet. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or corrosion, as prolonged inactivity accelerates degradation of these parts without triggering test advisories. The 2019 failure with no recorded defect warrants verification of the original refusal reason through DVSA archives, since the cause remains undocumented in the supplied data. Given the sparse four-entry history and absence of flagged wear, the record implies basic statutory testing was maintained but offers little insight into routine consumable care. A pre-purchase inspection should prioritise underside structural integrity and brake disc condition, where standing vehicles commonly develop hidden rust.
