2013 Ssangyong Rexton 2.7L Diesel · FX13 CEJ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 11 August 2023 at 117,830 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a clean pass in March 2021 at 113,772 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that prevents recurring failures. A single failure recorded in March 2020 at 102,652 miles does not appear to indicate a systemic issue, as the vehicle passed immediately upon retest. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age. The recorded 117,830 miles equates to approximately 9,064 miles per year over its thirteen-year lifespan. The data shows steady usage rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway transit. The gap between the 2021 and 2023 records shows a progression of roughly 4,000 miles, which aligns with typical annual driving patterns. While the MOT record is clean, the age and mileage of this SsangYong Rexton necessitate a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should focus on the underside of the chassis to check for structural corrosion, particularly around the rear subframe and suspension mounting points. Given the age, the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs should be verified, as these often develop fatigue that does not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical state. The braking system also requires scrutiny. Although no binding calipers or worn discs were flagged in the recent tests, the mileage suggests the vehicle has undergone significant thermal cycles. A physical check of the brake lines for corrosion and the thickness of the pads and discs is advised. Additionally, inspect the various rubber hoses and drive belts for signs of cracking or perishing, as these consumables often reach the end of their service life around the 120,000-mile mark.
