2010 Ssangyong Rodius 2.7L Diesel · FX10 AJO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a positive maintenance trend following recent repairs. The most recent MOT test on 12 November 2024 at 119,133 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets minimum legal standards. This success follows a failure just one week prior on 5 November 2024 at 119,119 miles, which suggests a minor rectifyable issue was addressed immediately rather than a chronic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-average-use vehicle, averaging approximately 7,446 miles per year over its sixteen-year life. The data shows a period of relative inactivity between July 2022 and July 2023, where the vehicle covered only 846 miles. However, the usage increased significantly between July 2023 and November 2024, covering over 4,600 miles in roughly sixteen months. This low annual mileage generally limits wear on the drivetrain components but increases the risk of rubber component degradation and corrosion if the vehicle sat for long periods of standing. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension system. Given the age of the SsangYong Rodius, hidden corrosion on the frame or exhaust mounting points remains a primary concern that MOT records cannot fully disclose. While recent tests are clean, the failures in 2022 and 2024 without specific recorded defects in the summary suggest the vehicle may have struggled with minor items like light bulbs or emissions adjustments. Inspect for perished suspension bushes and signs of brake caliper seizing to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in neglected mechanical parts.
