Our Verdict
This Ssangyong Rodius presents a relatively stable MOT history for a large diesel MPV. While there was a single failure in late 2022, the most recent records show no recorded defects.
When viewing this 2015 Rodius, focus on the service history to see how the 1998cc diesel engine has been maintained, as MOT records only show compliance with minimum safety standards. Given the large size of this vehicle, check for any signs of heavy loading or wear to the suspension components.
Negotiate based on the fact that while the recent MOTs are clean, the 2022 failure indicates a point of maintenance necessity. Ensure you verify the timing belt interval, as this is critical for this engine type, and check that all electronic features common to this model are operational.
As a 2.0L diesel MPV, running costs will be higher than a standard hatchback. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and driving style, but buyers should expect typical diesel MPV figures.
Tax and insurance groups for the Rodius can vary based on specific trim levels, so obtain a quote using the VO15UFL registration before purchasing. Maintenance costs for Ssangyong parts can sometimes be higher than mainstream brands due to availability, so budget for regular servicing of the diesel components.
The MOT history shows a failure in November 2022, although no specific defect was listed in the summary provided; you should ask the seller for the specific reason for that failure to ensure it was rectified correctly.
Inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly around the suspension and exhaust, which is common in larger diesel vehicles. Check the tyres and brake pads, as these are frequent items that can lead to MOT advisories or failures on vehicles of this weight.
Registered in June 2015, this black 2.0L diesel Rodius has covered 72,206 miles as of its last MOT in October 2023. The vehicle has undergone four recorded MOT tests, showing one failure in November 2022 and three subsequent passes. The mileage appears consistent with a vehicle of this age and type.
There is currently no aggregate MOT data available to provide a statistical reliability reputation for the Ssangyong Rodius.
