2010 Ssangyong Rexton 2.7L Diesel · SP10 DWA

The Ssangyong Rexton presents a current valid MOT pass dated 8 January 2024 at 68,665 miles with no defects recorded, establishing roadworthy status as of that test. Maintenance trend appears stable across the documented history, as the DVSA entries from July 2021 to January 2024 show zero advisories or mechanical faults. Two failures logged on 12 July 2021 at 54,242 miles and 15 December 2023 at 68,655 miles both list no defects, a pattern suggesting administrative or presentation anomalies at test rather than worsening condition. The vehicle cleared its most recent examination without intervention. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 54,242 miles at the July 2021 test to 54,380 by 13 January 2022, a mere 138 miles over six months indicating prolonged standing. Subsequent movement rose to 62,625 by 25 November 2022 and 68,655 by 15 December 2023, averaging roughly 4,300 miles annually overall. Such low throughput implies gentle touring but raises the risk of perished rubber components and surface corrosion from inactivity. The record remains sparse and clean, offering little granular insight into consumable replacement cycles. A buyer should commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the Rexton's age and the absence of logged advisories. Low mileage coupled with long static periods often conceals binding calipers and degraded flexible hoses not captured in a pass result. The tester never flagged structural integrity concerns, yet chassis corrosion remains a known foe on older 4x4s; examine underbody members and sills for rust pitting. The unexplained failures without defects warrant verification of previous test centre documentation to rule out identity or paperwork mismatches. Previous keepers evidently avoided major mechanical neglect, but the sparse history demands scrutiny of exhaust emissions and drivetrain health through a road test. Physical evaluation of tyre sidewalls and wiper blades should confirm consumables match the low-mileage profile.
