2016 Ssangyong Rodius 2.2L Diesel · SB55 ACB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 18 November 2025 at 93,647 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of successful tests over the last three years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern shows a significant increase in usage over the last two years. Between 1 November 2023 and 1 November 2024, the odometer rose from 49,400 to 70,931 miles, an increase of 21,531 miles in a single year. This acceleration continued into the final period, with the vehicle covering another 22,716 miles by November 2025. While the overall average of 9,365 miles per year is typical for a ten year old car, the recent high-intensity use means components are wearing down faster than they did in the vehicle's early life. The absence of advisories or defects across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance or a very light duty cycle prior to 2024. However, the rapid mileage accumulation since 2023 increases the likelihood of imminent wear on consumables. A buyer should specifically inspect the brake discs and pads for thinning and check the depth of the tyre treads, as these will have degraded quickly over the last 44,000 miles. Given the age of the chassis, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the underbody. The MOT record does not flag corrosion, but the transition from low to high mileage often reveals hidden rust or suspension bush perishment. Checking the coil springs for fractures and ensuring there are no fluid leaks from the drivetrain will confirm if the mechanical condition matches the clean digital record.
