2018 Ssangyong Rexton 2.2L Diesel · K66 WAE

The 2018 Ssangyong Rexton exhibits stable roadworthiness, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent July 2025 test at 45,344 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or escalating faults are evident in the record, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained. The absence of advisories or failures across eight years of testing implies the previous owner prioritized regular servicing, though the low mileage of 5,668 annual miles raises questions about usage patterns. The mileage progression shows gradual accumulation, with intervals of approximately 8,000 to 10,000 miles between tests. The 2021 test at 9,977 miles and the 2022 test at 18,877 miles suggest a slow build-up, while the 2023 test at 27,172 miles marked a sharper increase. This pattern aligns with the vehicle’s age but does not indicate excessive wear. The clean MOT history, despite the low annual mileage, implies the car has not been subjected to heavy use, though prolonged inactivity could affect components like the battery or suspension. A buyer should inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the chassis and wheel arches, as low mileage may mask rust from standing. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for dry rot, as these can degrade without regular use. The exhaust system and brake discs should also be examined for hidden damage, as MOT tests do not always detect minor issues. While the record shows no faults, the vehicle’s maintenance history suggests a need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of latent mechanical or structural concerns.
