2014 Ssangyong Rodius 2.0L Diesel · RO64 JZT

This SSangYong Rodius has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 31 October 2025 at 83,751 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues requiring attention during standard MOT testing. However, the most recent test occurred just under nine months ago, placing it slightly outside the optimal window for a pre-purchase inspection. While the vehicle’s compliance with MOT standards remains consistent, the lack of advisories does not preclude underlying wear—particularly in high-mileage areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake components—which may not always trigger MOT failures until they reach critical thresholds. The recorded mileage of 83,751 miles over approximately 12 years equates to an average of around 7,000 miles annually, which is typical for its age. There are no significant gaps in testing dates, and the mileage progression appears steady without abrupt jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity. This suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than stored, reducing the risk of neglected fluid degradation or seized components. However, the consistent annual mileage also implies predictable wear on consumable items like tyres, brake pads, and wiper blades, which should be verified during an inspection. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise examining the suspension for worn or leaking bushes, particularly at the rear where binding or uneven wear is common in this model. The brake system warrants close scrutiny, including checking for uneven disc thickness, warping, or corrosion—especially if the vehicle has been driven in wet conditions. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on the subframe, sills, and wheel arches for signs of corrosion or damage, as these areas are prone to deterioration in older vehicles. While the MOT history provides reassurance, a thorough inspection is essential to confirm the condition of non-MOT-tested components such as the exhaust system, power steering, and differential.
