2014 Ssangyong Rexton 2.0L Diesel · C27 PAH

The 2014 Ssangyong Rexton currently holds a valid MOT, having passed on 5 February 2026 at the recorded mileage with no advisories or defects listed. The maintenance trend over the past two years is mixed, showing alternating patterns of failure and pass rather than a clear trajectory in either direction. The vehicle failed an initial test on 23 January 2026, was rectified, and then passed just thirteen days later. A similar sequence occurred in early 2025, with a fail on 30 January immediately followed by a pass the next day. The earlier 2024 entry from June shows a straightforward pass with no recorded issues. While the most recent outcome is favourable, the repeated fail-then-pass pattern suggests minor rectification work is routinely required to clear the test, which is worth investigating further. With recorded mileage of 104,475 miles on a twelve-year-old vehicle, the Rexton averages roughly 8,700 miles per year, a broadly typical figure for its age. The MOT entries are too widely spaced in mileage terms to track precise annual accumulation, but the gap between the June 2024 test and the January 2025 tests indicates several thousand miles were covered in that seven-month window. The clustering of tests in late January or early February across consecutive years points to a consistent testing cycle by the current keeper. The sparse nature of the recorded defects means mileage-driven wear on consumable items cannot be fully assessed from the MOT history alone. Because the official record shows no advisories, there is no direct evidence from testing of developing issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion. That absence does not confirm the absence of faults, only that nothing was flagged at the time of test. A prospective buyer should arrange a physical inspection focusing on areas that commonly affect a high-mileage SUV of this type: corrosion on the chassis, crossmembers, and suspension mounting points; the condition of the brake discs and pads; wear on drivetrain and transfer box seals given the Rexton's four-wheel-drive configuration; and any signs of fluid leaks or exhaust deterioration. The MOT history provides a broadly positive recent snapshot, but a hands-on evaluation is essential given the vehicle's age and mileage.
