2016 Ssangyong Rexton 2.2L Diesel · YA66 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following the most recent MOT pass on 2 October 2025 at 58,338 miles. The inspection record shows a positive trend toward cleanliness, as the most recent test yielded no defects or advisories. While the vehicle experienced two failures in previous years, these appear to have been resolved successfully, as evidenced by the subsequent passing results in December 2024 and October 2025. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,834 miles per year. The data shows a consistent increase in mileage, moving from 39,683 miles in December 2023 to 51,531 miles in December 2024, and finally reaching 58,338 miles in October 2025. This steady progression suggests regular, albeit light, usage rather than long periods of stationary storage. The absence of sudden mileage spikes indicates a consistent usage pattern. The MOT history reveals a pattern of minor failures that were rectified before the next annual test. Specifically, the vehicle failed in December 2023 at 39,683 miles and again in December 2024 at 51,531 miles. Although the specific mechanical causes for these failures were not detailed in the summary, the fact that the vehicle passed immediately following these failures suggests the issues were likely related to consumable items or minor adjustments rather than systemic structural or drivetrain failures. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to check for corrosion, particularly on the suspension mounting points and exhaust system, which is common on vehicles of this age. Given the low annual mileage, I recommend inspecting the rubber components such as suspension bushes, control arm bushings, and tyre sidewalls for signs of age-related cracking or perishing. Additionally, check the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring, as vehicles driven at low annual mileages can sometimes suffer from surface oxidation or binding calipers due to infrequent use.
