2018 Ssangyong Musso 2.2L Diesel · AE68 DHA

The 2018 SsangYong Musso presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 August 2025 at 57,917 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure in the record was a short-lived anomaly rather than a sign of decline. Mileage sat at 33,542 miles for the August 2022 test, rose to 39,102 miles by August 2023, then 45,689 miles in August 2024 and 57,917 miles in August 2025. That equates to roughly 6,000 to 12,000 miles per year, within normal bounds for an eight-year-old vehicle. The clean sweep of no-defect advisories across all passes indicates the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumables. The only blemish is the failed test on 21 August 2023 at 39,102 miles, reversed three days later on 24 August 2023 at identical mileage with a pass and no defects logged. DVSA data gives no fault code, so the cause is undocumented; a retest without recorded repair suggests an administrative or minor presentation issue rather than structural damage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs and underbody corrosion given the Musso's age and light annual use, which can mask moisture-related rot. Verify the 2023 failure rationale with the test centre and confirm the current tyre tread, wiper blades and exhaust emissions match the clean advisory history before purchase.
