2014 Ssangyong Rexton 2.0L Diesel · RE14 EOH

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on December 4, 2025, at 131,829 miles. The trend shows signs of recent improvement after the car successfully navigated multiple failures in the preceding months. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the history of failures throughout 2024 and late 2025 suggests that the owner addressed specific mechanical or safety issues only upon testing failure rather than maintaining a proactive service schedule. At 131,829 miles over 12 years, the SsangYong Rexton has averaged approximately 11,000 miles per year. This aligns closely with typical annual usage for a large SUV of this age. The data reveals a period of high activity between July 2024 and December 2025, where the vehicle covered over 8,000 miles in just seventeen months. This rate of accumulation, combined with the cluster of MOT failures, suggests the vehicle was under significant load during this interval, necessitating rigorous inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the components that likely caused the 2024 and 2025 failures. Although the provided record does not list the specific reasons for the failures, high-mileage SUVs of this era frequently suffer from worn suspension bushes, degraded coil springs, and corrosion on the chassis. Look specifically for structural rust on the frame members and exhaust system, as these are common points of failure for the Rexton. Check the braking system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear to ensure the repairs made prior to the December pass were comprehensive rather than temporary fixes.
