2017 Ssangyong Rodius 2.2L Diesel · NP02 NAN

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass on 15 July 2025 at 73,271 miles. While the most recent test showed no defects, the history reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by rapid repairs. The car failed in both June 2024 and June 2025, only to pass a month later. This suggests the previous owners only addressed mechanical issues when specifically prompted by the annual testing process rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with typical UK usage for a large SUV, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. The vehicle progressed from 57,505 miles in July 2023 to 65,045 miles in July 2024, an increase of 7,540 miles. A further 8,226 miles were covered between the July 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady usage indicates the vehicle is driven regularly, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components compared to a car that sits for long periods of time. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension components and braking system, as the recurring failures just before passing often point to items reaching their wear limit. Given the age and weight of the vehicle, check for perished rubber control arm bushes and signs of corrosion on the coil springs. Although the record shows no structural failures, you must inspect the chassis for surface rust on the sills and mounting points to ensure structural integrity remains sound despite the reactive nature of the recorded maintenance history.
