2008 Ssangyong Rexton 2.7L Diesel · OO04 RFH

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, characterized by a series of passes and only one failure involving minor electrical and washer components. The latest test on 2025-11-19 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, suggesting a stable mechanical state following the resolution of previous minor issues. The recorded mileage of 65,597 miles is notably low for an eighteen year old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,644 miles per year. This usage profile typically results in reduced wear on the engine and drivetrain components, though it increases the likelihood of degradation in rubber components and consumables due to age rather than use, as evidenced by previous advisories regarding perishing tyres. Attention should be paid to the front suspension and steering geometry. The 2024 record noted worn anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside, while tests in 2020 and 2022 flagged inner edge tyre wear on the front axle. During a test drive, listen for knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces or during low-speed cornering, which would indicate that the anti-roll bar linkages require replacement. Further inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres and the clarity of the headlamp lenses. While the most recent test was clean, the history of perishing rear tyres and defective lens surfaces indicates these are areas of gradual deterioration. Ensure the steering does not pull to one side and that the tyres show even tread depth across the width to confirm that the previously noted inner edge wear has been corrected through proper wheel alignment.
